Birth Injury Lawyer, San Diego, California
The birth of a child is an exciting time for any family. When something goes wrong in the delivery room and an infant is injured, the excitement is replaced with sorrow and anguish. Families are emotionally and financially drained as they deal with the tragedy. When giving birth there are many things that can go wrong and make the process more difficult and potentially cause injury to the baby. Our
San Diego birth injury lawyers have represented many families of infants who sustained birth injuries due to the misconduct of a doctor or other medical professional during labor, birthing or immediately after the baby was born.
The most catastrophic birth injuries are those caused by depravation of oxygen or blood flow to the brain. When the brain experiences a total lack of oxygen (anoxia) or a partial lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and bleeding, the newborn can experience conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Erb's Palsy, Brachial Plexus Palsy, and mental retardation. Birth injuries are usually the result of a doctor or other medical professional making mistakes. Failing to take necessary actions in a timely matter, such as failing to monitor the mother and child and not recognizing fetal distress or a baby in a breech position, delaying a c-section, or misjudging the situation can cause traumatic injury to the baby and at times, the mother. Our injury accident attorneys are familiar with the many possible ways an infant can be injured, and have helped numerous families obtain the care and treatment their infant required to achieve the best possible recovery.
