Birth Injury Lawyer Tempe, AZ
Birth injuries can have many causes, including a doctor failing to properly monitor fetal distress, using tools improperly, or delaying a necessary C-section. Mistakes happen, but some mistakes can lead to serious conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, brain damage, or fractures. Even less severe injuries, like a permanent scar, can still have a significant impact on a child’s life or their parents’ well-being.
Besides the emotional turmoil birth injuries can cause, there’s also the very immediate medical costs to consider. Depending on the condition, families may need to spend thousands on expenses like surgeries, physical therapy, in-home modifications, medication, educational services, and more. Very serious injuries or conditions may also mean a child needs to be cared for well into their adulthood.
Many parents end up needing to modify their own lifestyles to care for their children. A parent may need to stop working for a period of time or even switch careers to have more flexible hours. Needing to care for a child with a condition or disability can also cause emotional distress and friction between partners or other family members.
Hospitals and medical providers often have high-quality representation from insurance companies and legal professionals. Combined, they may try limiting responsibility or denying liability altogether. Our Tempe birth injury lawyers can help you fight back!
