A medical mistake during labor or delivery can alter a child's life forever. Mistakes made by physicians and hospitals range from improper monitoring of health problems in the mother to improper fetal monitoring during labor and excessive pulling during a vaginal birth. Such errors may leave a baby with permanent brain damage, mental retardation, cerebral palsy or partial paralysis.
The medical expenses associated with caring for a child who has been hurt during birth as a result of medical negligence can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is unlikely that a child with severe brain injuries will be able to work when he or she reaches adulthood. Providing a financially secure future for their child is a daunting task for the parents.
If you are the parent or guardian of a child that suffered an injury or possibly permanent brain damage during labor or delivery, you need a legal representative who will fight for your baby’s rights.
