Birth injury lawyers are malpractice attorneys who deal with problems occurring in child birth. Although most babies are born healthy, two to seven babies in every thousand are injured during the birthing process. Some injuries are due to the baby’s size and position during labor; others birth injuries can be attributed to the negligence of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel. The lifelong consequences to the family can be devastating. Birth injury lawyers help by providing financial compensation to help pay for the expensive life-long costs of doctor and hospital error. At Goren, Goren & Harris, our Ohio and Michigan birth injury lawyers have helped provide millions of dollars in compensation to the victims of birth injury.
Our Michigan birth injury lawyers and Ohio birth injury lawyers help victims of many types of birth injuries including Erb’s palsy, which involves an injury to the nerves of an arm during delivery, and cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a brain injury, which can permanently injure a child’s physical and cognitive brain functions. Cerebral Palsy is sometimes caused by birth asphyxia- lack of oxygen to the brain during child birth. Constant fetal monitoring by trained medical professionals is the best way to assess the health of the baby during the birthing process. Certain changes in the baby’s heart rate require immediate medical attention. Birth injury lawyers hire medical experts including obstetricians and neonatologists to examine the medical records and determine the cause of your child’s birth injury. Caring for a child with cerebral palsy requires vast emotional and financial resources.
