Scranton Birth Injury Lawyer
Medical Malpractice Attorney Serving Northeast Pennsylvania
The birth of a child is an unparalleled experience. Unfortunately, this time of joy can quickly turn into a disaster if a doctor or nurse makes a mistake or is negligent in caring for you or your child. Fortunately, you have the right to take legal action against the responsible party in order to bring them to justice and recover the financial compensation you will need to pay for your child’s medical expenses and continued care.
A Scranton birth injury lawyer in your area can review medical records and talk to you about your situation in order to determine whether you have a case to bring against the doctor, obstetrician, nurse or hospital responsible for your child’s injuries.
Causes of Birth Injuries
There are numerous causes of birth injuries. It is important that your lawyer understands all of these, as it will be crucial to prove some form of negligence in order to hold the responsible person liable for their actions. Following are actions which may cause a birth injury to occur:
- Delayed cesarean section
- Failure to diagnose a medical condition
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum
- Anesthesia malpractice
- Delayed diagnosis of a medical condition in the mother or baby
