Birth Injury Lawyers - Birth Injury

in Denver and Aurora, Colorado

Giving birth to a child is one of life's greatest rewards. That's why any sort of injury during the birth process can be devastating. When you enter the delivery room, you expect the medical professionals to deliver your baby safe, sound, and healthy.

Unfortunately, accidents and birth injuries do happen. There are numerous conditions that can cause damage to your baby prior to or during delivery. Some of the most common causes are:

• Prolonged or difficult labor
• Use of forceps
• Abrupt delivery
• Prolonged fetal distress
• Improper prenatal care
• Medication, including antibiotic errors or omissions
• Failure to diagnose an evolving condition

Some birth injuries involve some form of nerve damage. Among the most severe types can be cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy.

Birth Injury Caused by Negligence

In order to successfully prosecute a medical malpractice lawsuit regarding a birth injury, negligence on the part of a medical professional must be proven. This means that the professional must be shown to have acted in a way inconsistent with the standards set forth by the medical community.
