Recovering Damages For Pregnancy-Related And Birth Injuries

The arrival of a newborn infant is one of the most significant events that adults can experience in their lifetimes. It is a time of renewal, of promise for the future. You want it to be as close to an example of perfection as is humanly possible; you don’t want anything to go wrong.

Potential Dangers During Childbirth

But bringing a child into the world is never a risk-free proposition; many things can happen that may result in worrisome complications, before and during birth. On rare occasions there may be nothing that parents or doctors can do to prevent a birth injury or birth defect; but sometimes, a birth injury is the result of delivery room negligence by the people that you trusted to help.

Learning that your child has suffered an injury at birth due to a medical mistake — or worse, has incurred a birth defect — can be devastating for both the parents and the child. A lifetime of promise can suddenly turn into an existence requiring life-long medical care. And almost as if to add insult to injury, that lifelong care can come with a price tag that is crippling to a family of average means.
