Visalia Birth Injury Attorneys

Children are especially vulnerable during birth. While many births occur without the need for anything more than minimal levels of medical care, any birth can become complicated. A baby’s health needs to be monitored during the birthing process to ensure that it is not under stress. When complications occur, the need for medical care may be immediate.

Obstetricians and the nurses and other health care professionals who may participate in a birth all have responsibilities to provide care that conforms with certain standards. If the level of care provided fell below those standards and the child was injured as a result, that is medical malpractice.

Some of the common issues that can arise because of substandard care during childbirth include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Erb’s palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Hypoxia

These injuries can be caused by failure to monitor a child’s oxygen levels, applying too much force during extraction and other errors.

Ensuring Your Child’s Needs Are Met In The Future

One of the key issues in pursuing compensation for a child who was injured during birth is being able to accurately project his or her needs in the future. Many of the injuries a child may suffer during birth will have a lasting impact on his or her life. We work with experts, such as physicians, life care planners and financial planners, to help us create an accurate assessment of your child’s needs in the future.
