The Importance of Taking Legal Action After a Birth Injury
In the unfortunate situation that complications should arise during the birth of your child, you should feel comfortable placing you trust fully in the doctor, nurses, or other medical professionals to manage this situation quickly and effectively, and with the accepted standard of care. There are few moments in one's life as defining and important as the birth of a child, and it should be filled with joy and anticipation, not with anxiety about the competence of the attending medical professional. The injuries sustained during childbirth can permanently damage the child; therefore it is crucial that you contact an Austin personal injury attorney immediately if you or your child has been injured.
Types of Birth Injuries
Sadly, there is a wide array of injuries that can occur during childbirth, and a number of reasons they occur. Many of these injuries can be traced back to human error on the part of the doctor. A few of the more common injuries resulting from error on the doctors' part are:
- Bone injury or fracture
- Umbilical cord strangulation
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy or brachial plexus palsy
- Facial paralysis
- Spinal injuries or defects
- Brain or head injuries
- C-section injuries
- Vacuum birth injuries
If your child or you has been suffered significant injuries as a result of the negligent or improper treatment of a medical professional, it is very important that that professional be held medically and legally responsible.
