Birth Injury Due to Medical Malpractice
Baltimore, Maryland
Bringing a child into the world is a monumental event that requires astute medical assistance. There are many things that can go wrong during labor and delivery, and it is your physician's job to minimize risks and ensure a safe and healthy birth. However, when medical professionals fail to do their jobs, new babies can suffer serious and threatening injuries.
The skilled Baltimore birth injury attorneys at Cohen & Dwin stand up for innocent children who were harmed as a result of a bad decision. Simply by contacting a skilled attorney team, you can find out exactly how malpractice laws can help your family.
Birth Injury Types
News of a birth injury is a frightening experience for new parents and family members. After a complication during labor or delivery, the medical team may use phrases like “unavoidable,” “unpredictable,” or “despite or best efforts.” But if you cannot accept that your child's injury was preventable and you feel information is being withheld, it is best to talk to a skilled birth injury lawyer.
The problem is that many parents are not armed with the proper knowledge to distinguish between a conceivable risk and a physician error. And many expectant parents have no idea that a mistake during birth can lead to conditions like cerebral palsy (motor skill problems), Erb's palsy (arm paralysis), brachial plexus (arm nerve) injuries, and forceps delivery injuries.
