Birth Injuries

Child Birth Injury Lawyer in Boca Raton For most parents, childbirth is one of life's greatest moments. When something goes wrong during the process, it can quickly become one of life's most devastating moments. The difference between a smooth delivery and one that results in a serious birth injury to your child usually rests in the hands of the person you trust the most – your doctor. Unfortunately, when your doctor makes a medical misstep, the health of you and your child can be permanently compromised.

Many types of preventable injuries can take place during childbirth. Severe injuries usually result in lifelong conditions like cerebral and Erb's palsy – nerve-related conditions that can cause paralysis and mental retardation. These devastating injuries can occur when your doctor fails to:

Detect an umbilical cord that is cutting off oxygen to your child
Get your child out of the birthing canal fast enough, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain
Respond quickly enough to a mother's changing health conditions
Perform a cesarean section when your child is in distress
Use forceps correctly, or with the correct amount of force

If your child has suffered from a birth injury, you should know that are not alone. The emotional and financial devastation you have gone through can and should be accounted for in a court of law.
