Birth Injury Attorney Serving Boca Raton

Types of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries are some of the most traumatic and debilitating injuries that affect a baby,  which can be caused by medical negligence during delivery. The emotional effect to parents facing a birth injury in their newborn is devastating, especially when it may have been prevented. Medical negligence can be difficult to prove and of course some birth injuries do result from natural causes, which are beyond the control of the parents or their doctor. However, mistakes, delays, miscalculations and even carelessness by the physician or hospital staff have contributed to birth injuries. As a parent it is therefore very important to contact a Personal Injury Attorney for the services they provide to assist you in evaluating your legal recourse. 

Brain injuries to the infant are the most common and severe result of a birth injury, but other injuries can be just as serious.  Some of these include skin problems, fractured bones, cerebral palsy and other neurological complications.  Spinal cord injuries and nerve damage can be caused by a doctor negligently failing to recognize the signs indicating a difficult birth or use the proper delivery techniques. Other injuries come in many forms and include depressed skull fractures, facial paralysis and spasticity, a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. When facing these types of life altering injuries to your child, it is vital you get the proper legal advice from the Carman Law Firm to determine your legal options.
