Can I Sue the Doctor that Delivered my Baby?
For the vast majority of people, childbirth is an easy, trouble-free experience. After experiencing a complication-free pregnancy, few parents-to-be expect to experience problems in the delivery room. Even fewer expect any problems that do arise to be caused by the negligence of the doctor or hospital. Unfortunately, disabilities like cerebral palsy are often caused due to the negligence of hospital employees and medical professionals. If your child is one of the more than 8,000 children who are diagnosed with cerebral palsy each year, it's important to know that you and your child have rights. In order to protect those rights, you need to contact a medical malpractice attorney at Law Offices of Gary Green right away.
Fight Back against Negligence in the Delivery Room
It seems unthinkable that highly trained professionals in a delivery room could make mistakes that cause conditions like cerebral palsy, but it happens all the time. Injuries that are sustained at birth can have long-running physical, emotional and financial repercussions for children and parents alike. A single medical mistake can significantly alter a child's future. By suing those who are accountable, you will do what it takes to receive compensation. You may also help prevent future incidents from occurring.
Common Mistakes can Cost You and Your Child Dearly
Parents often blame themselves upon learning that their child has cerebral palsy or another disability that was caused by an injury at birth. It's critical to realize, however, that many of the more than 750,000 children and adults who currently suffer from cerebral palsy got their injuries due to the negligence of hospital staff. Mistakes like misreading an ultrasound, not responding quickly enough to fetal distress on a heart monitor and the improper use of delivery instruments like forceps can all result in injuries that cause cerebral palsy.
Has Your Child Been Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy? Here's what to Do
Conditions like cerebral palsy are sometimes diagnosed shortly after delivery. In some cases, they aren't diagnosed until a child is in preschool. If your child has been diagnosed with this type of disability, you need to act quickly to protect your rights. By contacting Law Offices of Gary Green, you can get started on discovering what went wrong and finding out what kind of compensation you are owed. It is important to hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions. Success in court won't lessen the heartache of dealing with this condition, but it could help secure financial compensation that will pay for the ongoing medical expenses that your child will incur throughout his or her lifetime. Call now to get started.
