Broken / Fractured Bones

The process of childbirth is extremely delicate and must be handled with the utmost care and attention in order to prevent injury to the child. When medical professionals involved in the process of delivering a child act in a hasty or negligent manner, the newborn can experience a variety of birth injuries, any of which have the potential to result in serious and lasting damage.

When medical professionals use unnecessary force or rush the birthing process, there is a chance that the newborn will suffer from broken bones or fractures. If your child has suffered from broken bones or fractures during the birthing process, contact the Chicago fractured / broken bone attorneys of Friedman & Bonebrake at 312-466-8200.

Broken Bones

If a delivery is performed correctly, newborns should rarely, if ever, suffer from broken bones or fractures as a result of the birthing process. However, mistakes do happen that result in broken bones and fractures, most frequently affecting the collar bone.

During some births, it is not uncommon for a baby’s shoulders to become lodged behind the mother’s pelvic bone, resulting in a minor complication known as shoulder dystocia. With patience and care, almost all dystocic babies can be delivered without any birth trauma. Unfortunately, many medical professionals do not exercise the patience necessary to deliver dystocic babies without damage and put unnecessary force on the child, resulting in broken bones.

The Chicago fractured / broken bone attorneys of Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C. are here to provide you with the legal representation you need in your medical malpractice suit if your newborn child has unnecessarily suffered from broken bones.
