Birth Injury Attorney in San Francisco
What is a birth injury?
Birth injuries most commonly occur when the flow of blood and oxygen is restricted during the birthing process. When it becomes clear that the child is not receiving a sufficient amount of oxygen, the attending physician and other medical personnel must act at once to increase the supply of oxygen to the baby, in order to restore stability and avoid permanent injury. In some unfortunate cases of negligence, the actions are not taken as quickly as it should have; the infant child could face serious risk of birth-related injuries. In these situations, it is critical to consult the expertise of a San Francisco personal injury lawyer who can provide valuable insight into your options.
Birth injuries can manifest in a variety of different ways including lifelong physical, developmental, and cognitive complications like Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy and brain damage, among others. These types of birth injuries can be devastating, both for families and the children who suffer from them. Moreover, the long-term medical costs associated with treatment and care is astronomical. If a medical professional or facility breached their duty of care during the birth process, a claim should be filed against them to address the damages.
