Birth Injuries - An Overview
The birth of a child is often the most joyous time in a parent's life, and thankfully most child deliveries go as smoothly as expected, with any difficulties successfully overcome. Unfortunately, complications can arise during both pregnancy and delivery and these problems may result in temporary or permanent injury to the baby. In situations such as these where the harm was avoidable, it is important that the legal rights of both baby and parent are fully safeguarded.
Responsible Parties
Medical malpractice liability arising from birth defects (or injuries) is not limited to medical doctors/obstetricians. Liability can extend to nurses, health care facilities, and others providing health care services to you or your baby. The following will provide you with some information about the liability of potentially responsible parties in a claim for birth defects (or injuries). If your child was injured at birth, consult an attorney to learn your rights to compensation. A lawyer experienced in birth injury litigation can help you learn what your rights are.
