Every mother hopes for a happy, healthy baby and takes every precaution to ensure that their baby will be healthy and safe. No matter how healthy an expectant mother may be, she and the baby are still at risk. Many mothers and babies are seriously injured as a result of medical malpractice or medical negligence. When a doctor treats an expectant mother with substandard care during her pregnancy or during deliver, the baby may sustain a serious birth injury. One of the many birth injuries that a child may suffer as the result of medical negligence or malpractice, include:

• Brachial Palsy / Erb's Palsy
• Cerebral Palsy
• Bruising / Forceps Marks
• Caput Succedaneum
• Cephalohematoma
• Facial Paralysis
• Fractures
• Suconjunctival Hemorrhage
• Umbilical Cord Entrapment
• Abrupted Placenta
• Fetal Distress
• Skin Irritations

A doctor is supposed to diagnose and effectively treat, if possible, ailments in patients, including unborn children. When a physician, nurse, medical specialist, or other hospital staff does not provide proper medical care they are putting the patient at serious risk. If your baby was injured as a result of substandard medical care you should contact a New York birth injury lawyer right away.

If your child has been the victim of a birth injury that resulted in Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, please contact the New York cerebral palsy lawyers at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro.
