Birth injuries, also known as birth traumas, can result in serious, permanently disabling physical impairments that may significantly decrease a baby's quality of life. Although some birth injuries result from unpreventable circumstances, such as genetic factors, on occasion, the mistakes that doctors and nurses make before, during or after a birth can cause severe birth injuries.
Alabama birth injury lawyers are committed to building cases and obtaining compensation for infants who have suffered a birth injury as the result of medical mistakes or negligence in an Alabama medical facility.
Parents of such newborns should meet with an Alabama birth injury attorney to learn more about their legal rights and find out if they are entitled to a settlement for their babies' injuries, medical bills and pain and suffering.
Medical mistakes that are likely to cause severe birth injuries include (but aren't limited to) failing to diagnose and treat:
Additionally, birth trauma can result from improper use of forceps, excessive use of vacuum extraction and failure to perform a C-section (when vaginal births are clearly complicated).
Such negligence occurs most often when other birthing complications, such as the following, arise:
Severe birth trauma that can cause permanent disabilities including:
In most cases, these birth injuries will require life-long treatments, including medications, use of medical devices and/or surgery.
Sadly, many birth injuries are not diagnosed until several weeks following the birth, as it takes time to notice the physical and cognitive impairments in newborns. If your baby has suffered a birth injury, we know that it will be emotional and painful, and depending on the severity of the injury, your infant may require costly life-long care and treatment.
Our experienced Alabama birth injury lawyers have tried hundreds of cases on behalf of parents just like you. For compassionate and caring, yet aggressive and experienced representation in your birth injury case, contact us today.
