Infant Trauma

Becoming a parent for the first time is supposed to be one of the most exciting moments in your life. As a new parent, there are many things to consider and prepare for. In all of this excitement, few parents consider the possibility that their child could suffer serious harm in the birthing process. Unfortunately, injuries to newborns before, during, and after birth do occur, and often, these injuries are the result of medical negligence.

Types of Infant Trauma

Children are incredibly vulnerable during childbirth. It is the responsibility of medical staff members to work hard to ensure that the birthing environment is as safe as possible and to do everything they can to protect the health of both mother and child. Unfortunately, when medical professionals fail to act appropriately, serious trauma can result, and children can suffer from conditions such as:

• Brain injury
• Cerebral palsy
• Erb's palsy
• Hemorrhaging
• Spine injury

It is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to find out if medical malpractice played a role in your child's injury. You may be eligible for compensation for your child’s needless pain and suffering.
