Child & Birth Injuries

Cerebral Palsy:

Cerebral palsy is a permanent disabling condition affecting the brain and the central nervous system of a child. Cerebral palsy can be caused during pregnancy during the birth process and sometimes through medical malpractice.

Taking care of a child with cerebral palsy is a tremendous long-term economic burden.

Erbs Palsy:

Erbs Palsy (Brachial Plexus Palsy) is caused by trauma to the infant's shoulder during birth. Erbs Palsy results in paralysis, diminished muscle control or feeling in the arms and hands. Some injuries are a result of medical malpractice.

Meningitis:

Failure to diagnose meningitis is a common source of medical malpractice. The disease is curable if detected early and treated. Any delay in diagnosis can greatly reduce the chance of survival. People afflicted with bacterial meningitis may die or may suffer permanent injury which includes: brain damage and/or learning disabilities.

Medical Malpractice:

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor’s care deviates from the usual standard of care that other professionals would have done under the same or similar circumstances.

The medical malpractice in birth injury cases could include:

• Failure to diagnose or properly manage pregnancy complications
• Failure in timely matter to respond to fetal distress
• Complications in the delivery of the baby, resulting in irreversible brain damage or other injuries to the baby.
