Hawaii Birth Injury Attorney
Was your child injured at birth?
Children can suffer birth injuries during labor and delivery. A birth injured child typically sustains permanent and serious injuries that require long-term treatment and care. Types of injuries can include:
- Erb's palsy
- Cerebral palsy
- Brain damage
- Brachial Plexus
- Oxygen deficiency
- Uterine rupture
- Shoulder dystocia
Most birth injuries are caused by problems with blood flow. As soon as the situation is detected, doctors and nurses need to take immediate action to increase the oxygen supply to the baby, including performing a cesarean section if necessary. Physician or medical staffs who fail to take appropriate actions can be held legally responsible for any injuries that occur.
If you suspect that your child was injured due to labor and delivery mismanagement, contact a Hawaii personal injury lawyer for legal advice. A qualified personal injury lawyer can review your case and determine if you are eligible to receive monetary damages to cover the costs of hospitalization, medical treatment, long-term care, pain, suffering and emotional trauma.
