Birth Injury

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

A birth injury is a type of wound that occurs during the actual birthing process.  When doctors deliver infants, they may make mistakes or engage in practices that are not safe for the child that they are delivering.  When this happens, infants stand a great chance of sustaining a birth injury which may leave them with permanent traumatic symptoms and medical conditions.

Who can file a Birth injury Lawsuit?

Any parent who has a child who has sustained a debilitating birth injury may be allowed to file a personal injury lawsuit.  Often times, parents must file lawsuits to recover compensation because birth injuries are so expensive to treat.  After a child suffers a serious birth injury, he/she may need lifelong medical care.  Over time, these medical costs can add up.  Not to mention, the parent may have to quit his/her job or work less hours if the child needs daily supervision and care because of his/her injuries.  Due to the costs involved, parents usually have no choice but to move forward with a personal injury lawsuit to collect compensation.  Without compensation, parents may not be able to pay their child’s medical bills or provide for their child’s medical treatment.

Anytime a parent is considering filing a lawsuit for a birth injury, it is important that he/she hires an attorney who has vast experience with birth injury cases.  A birth injury attorney will have the litigation experience and knowledge it takes to question the birthing practices of obstetricians, physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and attending hospital staff.  Additionally, a personal injury lawyer will be prepared to move the case to trial if a desirable settlement cannot be reached between involved parties.
