Birth injuries can happen at any point during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the neonatal period. Sometimes, a birth injury is the result of medical negligence or medical malpractice. Under these circumstances you and your family need to be compensated and our birth injuries lawyer will help. You don’t need to suffer any additional emotional or physical pain. Call (602) 825-3770 for a free consultation and to get your case underway.
Medical negligence means that there was a lack of care by professionals during the pregnancy or delivery process. In other words, if your doctor knew about an issue with your baby’s health in utero but failed to properly address it, then he or she may be found guilty of medical negligence.
If you believe your baby’s injury was caused by medical negligence, call a birth injuries lawyer at Eos Law as soon as possible. It’s also important to seek legal help if you believe that a doctor or nurse did not perform their duties, so you can get the compensation you need to pursue additional medical care and treatment.
Types of birth injuries
Infection/sepsis, meconium aspiration, neurological damage, placental abruptions, premature birth, shoulder dystocia, nerve damage, and spina bifida are different types of birth injuries. Brain injuries are also a common birth injury. In fact, they are the main cause of cerebral palsy, which is a disorder that affects body movement and muscle coordination. A brain injury can happen if the baby is deprived of oxygen during pregnancy or labor.
The death of the child or the mother is sometimes a result of a birth injury or medical negligence. An act can be considered negligent only if it does not match the quality that would be offered by another reasonable medical professional in the same situation.
No parent wants to see any harm come to their child, especially during pregnancy or birth. If a child is injured, or if there is a death, you deserve to understand what happened, why it happened, and what steps you need to take to ensure your child’s needs are provided for. At Eos Law, our birth injuries lawyer will make sure you are compensated so your current and future needs are met.
