What You Need To Know About Birth Injuries
If your baby suffers from conditions such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy or brain damage, those disabilities might be the result of medical malpractice during labor and delivery. The severity of a birth injury may range from mild to severe, resulting from many causes. The attending physician and staff must properly address many potentially complicating factors and work to make sure proper prenatal care is administered. Tragically, a delivery marked by medical malpractice or misdiagnosis can lead to infants suffering seizures, cognitive impairment, behavioral disorders, executive function deficits and other developmental problems and neurological issues.
