The birth of a child is supposed to be the happiest moment in a family’s life. There’s supposed to be a beautiful shimmer of sunlight in the background, and all of the people in the delivery room are supposed to be in awe of this newborn baby that you have just welcomed into the world. There may not be triumphant, heartwarming music playing while this amazing moment happens, but despite all of this hyperbole, the truth is that the birth of a baby is a tremendous moment. Nothing should ruin it.
And yet far too often, unfortunate mistakes during a birth occur at the hands of doctors, surgeons or nurses. These mistakes not only ruin this moment, they potentially could ruin the newborn’s life — and devastate the family as a result.
Birth injuries vary in terms of what they entail, but botched C-sections and epidurals can severely injure or forever change a newborn or the newborn’s mother. There could also be negligence in terms of the treatment and care the newborn receives int he hours and days after he or she enters the world.
Regardless of how the birth injury occurs, you and your family need to consider all of the legal angles and then act accordingly. Doctors, surgeons and nurses needs to be held responsible when they forever change someone’s life due to a medical error. At Fronzuto Law Group, we have extensive experience with birth injury cases, and we will fight for you and your newborn to hold the negligent medical professionals who made the mistake legally responsible.
