For new parents, it’s shocking and distressing to discover that their precious new-born has suffered a birth injury. With serious injuries, this spell the beginning of a life-time of caring for the injured child, with a huge financial, psychological and social impact on the entire family. One parent may have to give up a career and become a full-time care-giver if the family cannot afford to hire help. The long-term impact is also quite bleak, as parents have to fund the child’s future beyond their own life-times. Contact a Brights Grove personal injury lawyer if you or a loved one has experienced a baby’s birth injury.
Types of Birth Injury
Some types of birth injury may leave only temporary problems that get resolved in a short time, but others are permanent. Babies may also react differently to trauma. In some cases, the effects of the injury may be noticed only when the child is enrolled in school. Most injuries are due to medical malpractice, negligence and error on the part of doctors, obstetricians, nurses, staff etc. Harmful side-effects from medications are caused by negligent pharmaceutical companies and prescribing doctors. A top injury lawyer from Ontario can assist you with filing a personal injury claim against those responsible for the accident.
