Harrisburg Birth Injury Lawyers
A baby’s birth should be a joyous occasion, but there is no avoiding the worry a parent has about whether or not their child will be healthy. There are many factors that can determine an infant’s health, one of which is the quality of care that the child receives during the delivery process as well as the time after birth. If a child is mistreated or handled improperly during this important time, it can result in devastating injuries.
Birth injuries can vary greatly in severity. While some can heal with the correct medical care, others may leave your precious son or daughter with permanent disabilities. If a medical professional has made a mistake that has hurt your child, you can fight back to discourage this terrible act of negligence in the future. Contact a compassionate yet determined Harrisburg birth injury attorney at Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 610-667-7511 to learn more about your legal options.
Common Birth Injuries
There are several different ways that a baby can suffer from harm during the delivery process. These injuries may not manifest themselves right away, but they can still cause serious harm to your child. Sometimes, it is only as children grow that the injury becomes evident. Common types of birth injuries that can negatively affect your child include:
- Head and Brain Trauma
- Spinal Cord Damage
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Post-Natal Infections
- Shaken Baby Syndrome
Newborn babies are delicate and susceptible to physical injuries as well as deadly infections. Thus, it is imperative that doctors and nurses treat infants with the thorough and careful attention that they deserve. If a medical professional has failed in this duty to your baby, talk to an attorney today.
