Labor during childbirth is painful. You shouldn’t have to make it worse by worrying about birth injuries. But they happen all too often – about seven per 1,000 children born in the United States.
Many severe injuries can happen to a baby during the process of giving birth:
During labor and all healthcare duties, a physician is required to exercise that level of care that other physicians would carry out under similar circumstances. If they don’t meet this standard of care and your newborn is injured, you may be able to sue for damages. These include economic damages, which are actual expenses incurred as a result of the injury, like the cost of additional medical care and lost earning capacity; non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of companionship and society, and emotional distress; and punitive damages to punish the defendant for their misconduct.
To establish these damages, your healthcare provider must have acted with reckless indifference to you and your baby’s health during delivery. It’s unlikely this is the case under normal circumstances.
A new baby is a precious occurrence in your life. If that baby receives temporary or life-changing injuries during delivery, you may be able to sue your doctor or hospital for medical malpractice. Our specialists at The Doctor-Lawyer Firm stand by to represent you in your claim and to do our ultimate to get you the compensation you deserve. Call us today at (833) 633-6257 or contact us online.
