Birth Injury

Becoming a parent is one of life’s great joys, but medical negligence can turn this joyous occasion into an expensive and emotionally draining challenge. We understand that there is nothing more painful than watching your child suffer, or even die, but the reality, according to the National Healthcare Quality report, is that a child suffers from a birth injury nearly every 18 minutes. Approximately 7 birth trauma injuries occur for every 1,000 live births in the United States each year – about 28,000 annually.

Birth injuries can result from a wide range of medical negligence before, during, or after a child is born and can cause various traumatic outcomes to a child or their parents. The effects can be devastating to the child, can have a lasting impact on a child, and can alter the course of a child’s future. Not only can the effects be devastating to a child, but they can be devastating to the child’s parents as well. The ensuing costs, both emotionally and financially, can be enormous. Those costs can include ongoing medical care, medical equipment, medication, specialized education, lost wages, and, of course, pain and suffering. Lifelong impacts can easily reach into the millions of dollars.
