Pregnancy and the birth of a child should be one of the most joyful experiences in a parent’s life. Sadly, this experience can quickly become a nightmare when an obstetrician or other specialist fails to properly monitor the pregnancy or birth and misses ongoing damage, which requires earlier delivery to avoid catastrophic injury to the child or something goes wrong in the delivery room. If your child suffered a serious injury or was diagnosed with a life-altering condition after a difficult pregnancy labor or delivery, there is hope.
While financial compensation cannot undo what has happened to you and your child, it can allow you to achieve a sense of justice in knowing that the responsible parties have been made accountable. A successful birth injury case can also provide you with the rightful compensation you need to provide a full and meaningful life for your child, as well as ensure that similar mistakes do not occur to other innocent children in the future.
