Knowledgeable Infant Injury Attorneys in Palm Beach Gardens, FL Are Dedicated to Achieving Favorable Outcomes in Birth Injury Cases in Palm Beach County and Throughout Florida

Of the millions of babies born in the United States every year, a small percentage are born with birth injuries or defects. Some of these unfortunate occurrences are unavoidable. However, many birth injuries and defects are the result of medical negligence. Treatment errors and doctor mistakes that lead to birth injuries cause serious pain and suffering for families and their newborn children, many of whom will face lifelong hardships that they should not have had to endure. If you or your loved one has a child who suffered a birth injury, contact our Palm Beach Gardens birth injury lawyers today.

Our Palm Beach Gardens Birth Injury Lawyers Handle a Wide Range of Birth Injuries Commonly Caused by Medical Negligence

Treatment mistakes and errors during a mother’s pregnancy and before, during, and after childbirth can lead to a wide range of serious birth injuries, illnesses, and defects, including:

Cerebral palsy
Brachial plexus injuries
Hypoxia
Shoulder injuries
Maternal death
Death of the child
Sight, sound, and other sensory issues in the child

Childbirth can be traumatic, and the unexpected can always happen. A child can become stuck inside the mother or may not be oriented the right way for a smooth and issue-free delivery. The medical team may need to pull on the baby to deliver it, and this can lead to nerve damage and even a crushed skull. Contaminated instruments or poor sanitization can lead to illnesses such as meningitis. Inaction on the part of the delivery team in delivering the baby can lead to brain damage or even death, and inadequate screening for medical reactions such as allergies can lead to disastrous responses in the mother or child, leading to unnecessary yet avoidable pain and suffering in what is already a difficult situation to manage.

Irrespective of how your child suffered a birth injury, you should speak with an attorney to determine whether you have grounds for filing a medical malpractice suit for birth injury. If your child sustained injuries during birth, you may be faced with long-term treatment expenses, expensive therapy, and even the costs of mobility devices or home renovations to accommodate a birth injury-related disability. You should not have to shoulder these expenses yourself if your child’s injuries were caused by the negligence or mistakes of your caregivers.
