Chicago Birth Injury Attorney
A birth injury to a child can lead to large medical costs,
potentially altered lifestyles, and oftentimes, emotional hardship
for families.
If your child suffered a birth injury, you should seek the advice
of a Chicago Birth Injury Attorney.
Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can be complex. Sometimes, birth injuries are not
detected for months - even years after. A birth injury with
legal implications must be a birth injury resulting from a medical
mistake caused by a medical provider.
In the United State, anestheisia-related birth complications are
a leading cause of pregnancy related deaths.
Other examples of birth injuries include: failure to order
specific tests during pregnancy, not interpreting test results
correctly, failure to treat conditions in the mother during
pregnancy, failure to deliver via cesarean section if there is a
problem during the birth, overuse of vacuum extraction,
administration of too much medication, and failure to respond to the
changing condition and position of the unborn baby during labor.
Sometimes a failure to diagnose (like preclamsia) can also lead
to birth injuries. Other times the physician may cause a
birth injury by departing from the way a reasonably prudent doctor
should act. For example, birth injury cases relate to:
● shoulder
dystocia;
● fetal distress due to lack of
oxygen;
● Erbs Palsy
● cerebral palsy;
● preclampsia
● uterine rupture.
