Do I have a case?

A significant number of birth injury cases result from negligence on the part of medical practitioners. Often, complications during pregnancy can be improperly diagnosed or overlooked. During labor, conditions can rapidly change, requiring quick but informed decisions to be made. If at any point a healthcare professional fails to adhere to established medical standards and your infant is injured, damages may be recoverable under medical malpractice laws. Common types of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, a condition that affects muscle coordination, and Erb's palsy, which is caused when the physician injures vital nerves in the newborn's neck during delivery.

What does compensation in a birth injury case usually cover?

A typical birth injury/medical malpractice claim includes compensation for pain and suffering, payment of medical expenses for treating the injury caused by the doctor's negligence, and reimbursement for any past, present, and future financial burdens resulting from the birth injury.

Why should I choose a personal injury lawyer?

When choosing a doctor, you look for one who focuses on the area of care you need. For the birth of your baby, you probably sought an obstetrician. For heart-related conditions, people seek the care of cardiologists. Likewise, when you need a lawyer, it's important to find one who focuses on your type of case. For birth injuries and medical mistakes, a Pennsylvania birth injury lawyer would be the proper choice. Because these types of lawyers typically only handle personal injury cases, they are knowledgeable about how to best handle your case.
