Cerebral Palsy, Erb's Palsy, Brain Damage and Other Birth Injury Claims

One of the most tragic of all types of medical malpractice cases are those that involve a baby damaged at birth. These injuries can be permanent, leaving the child unable to function in life, or facing serious challenges, such as in cases of cerebral palsy. These injuries are often not the fault of the medical personnel involved, but there are cases in which negligence led to the injury to the child. The process of birth must be managed extremely carefully, and all involved are required to monitor the baby and act quickly if it is in distress. When they fail to do so, such as in cases in which they did not perform a caesarean section in time, or the child is oxygen deprived, the baby can suffer serious and permanent damage, leading to a lifetime of medical and nursing care. If your family is facing this difficult and tragic situation, we urge you to contact a Minnesota personal injury lawyer from our firm to assist you in the claims process.

Medical malpractice claims can be particularly difficult to get resolved, and the effort to file a claim should be undertaken immediately if you suspect that your child was injured through negligence. The documentation of the birth must be obtained and preserved, and all witnesses interviewed while their memories are fresh. It is expected that medical professionals will provide the expected level of care - the same level that another physician, nurse of other professional would have provided under the same circumstances. When they fail to do so, it is considered a breach of duty, and they can be held liable.
