New York Birth Injury Lawyer
Syracuse Birth Injury Attorneys
The arrival of a newborn into a family should be a joyous occasion, full of expectations, hopes, and dreams of a healthy future for the baby. Unfortunately, things sometimes go wrong, mistakes are made, and irreparable injury is done to a child in a way that causes lifelong harm to the baby and his family.
A New York birth injury can be caused by several factors. Many times birth defects or diseases are natural occurrences, but sometimes they happen because a doctor failed to correctly diagnose a condition in a pregnant woman, prescribed the wrong drug, caused harm to the child or mother during childbirth, or even performed an unnecessary c-section.
In fact, the National Center for Health Statistics estimated that one in three babies are delivered by c-section, and many healthcare providers believe several of these surgeries are unnecessary. Cesarean births come with several risks, including major surgery and anesthesia. Also, doctors sometimes make mistakes and deliver a child pre-term, rather than letting the pregnancy run its natural course, which can cause severe New York birth injuries.
Repercussions of Birth Injuries
New York birth injuries can have lifelong effects on children and families, often requiring constant care, expensive medical equipment, and a lifetime battling prejudice and the stigma associated with some diseases. Birth injuries can sometimes cause cerebral or Erb’s palsy, and can prevent children from ever realizing their dreams. All thoughts of being a star baseball player, a ballerina, or a firefighter are cut off before they can begin.
The New York birth injury lawyers at Greene & Reid understand that an injury lawsuit won’t undo the damage that has been done. However, compensation for birth injuries can ease the financial burden that comes with past, present, and future medical bills, prescriptions, expensive medical equipment, and can even compensate for pain and suffering.
