Birth Injury

Chicago Birth Injury Lawyers

Few circumstances are more traumatic to a family than a birth injury. While not every birth-related injury is due to the neglect of a health care professional, when there are complications in the process of pregnancy, labor and delivery, the result can be a variety of complications for the newborn baby and/or the mother. If your child was born with injuries or there was injury to the mother during delivery, the delivery processes should be closely examined to determine whether the injury was a result of medical negligence.

The most common types of birth injuries are:

Delay in ordering a cesarean section
Failure to respond to bleeding
Failure to respond to umbilical cord entrapment
Failure to respond to fetal distress
Misuse of vacuum extractors or forceps
Poor care of newborn immediately following birth
Miscommunication between Doctors and Nurses

A law firm experienced with medical malpractice cases, such as Willens Law Offices, P.C., should be consulted with promptly if you suspect that birth injuries were caused by medical negligence. To determine if a birth injury was caused by negligence, all the medical records need to be obtained and reviewed by a lawyer and often well-qualified medical experts.
