Our Orlando birth Injury Attorneys

Having a newborn child is one of the most precious moments we can experience. Witnessing the birth of a new generation is enough to change your life. From the moment you hold you little baby, your entire set of priorities will change.

Unfortunately, accidents due to negligence happen. This is one of life’s most unpleasurable facts. In the United States, approximately, 28,000 new born babies experience a birth injury every year. Birth injuries can occur for a variety of reasons. When birth injuries happen, they come in two forms, infant injury and mother injury.

Take a look at some of the outcomes of both types

Infant Injury can cause or lead to:

• Cerebral palsy
• Erb’s palsy
• Brachial plexus
• Brain damage
• Bone fractures
• Nerve damage
• Meconium aspiration syndrome
• Spinal cord injuries
• Nerve damage
• Injuries from forceps or other devices used to aid in delivery
• Premature delivery that could have been prevented
• Stillbirth

Mother injuries due to negligence often occur when the medical staff fail to properly:

• Monitor the mother during and after the birth
• Identify the warning signs of preclampsia
• Properly identify placental abnormalities
• Expect foreseeable complications by reading medical data appropriately
• Quickly and efficiently correct fetal distress
• Undergo Cesarean when necessary
