How Lawyers at Paul Dansker & Aspromonte Associates for Birth Injuries Can Help You?
A birth injury or a birth trauma is an injury caused to the baby due to a difficult birth or the size or the position of the baby during labour and delivery. These injuries may vary depending upon their effects on the baby; however, some might end in a physical or a mental disability of the baby.
The causes of injuries vary widely from strained to torn nerves, to trauma, to brain damage, to lack of oxygen.
The main problem with birth injuries is that some can be detected within a few hours of birth; but many others cannot be detected till later in life, which may relate to learning disabilities or when other characteristics related to brain damage become apparent.
Another reason for an injury or death of a baby is that due to improper diagnostics, the foetus is mature and swallows its own faecal; other injuries are caused by the excessive force or rotation in birth process or the misuse of vacuum extraction.
Due to the above mentioned causes of birth injuries, the baby with a birth injury is hard to diagnose in most of the cases and if diagnosed the treatment is a long process, which might include immediate surgery or long term medication, care and therapy, which could be physical or mental.
Moreover, children born with birth injuries might never be able to take care of themselves or earn a living. Thus the governments all around the world, especially in the developed countries provide a living for such children, as the injury or the permanent deformation might have occurred due to the negligence of the medical staff.
If it is proved that either the doctor or the medical-staff was responsible for the birth injury, the birth injury lawyer can help you get a fair settlement. Another advantage of seeking help from birth injury lawyers is that their investigation can lead to the actual reasons for the birth injury; and parents would have a clear picture of the entire scenario and this would help them in coping with the situation in a better way.
