Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities
Medical care professionals at hospitals handle most births and deliveries properly, but medical negligence can occur. Birth injuries may be caused by the negligence of physicians, obstetrical nurses or other medical providers or hospital staff. When negligence occurs during pregnancy or childbirth, the consequences can be grave. Medical negligence during childbirth can result in trauma to an infant, and it can have a lasting impact on the entire family when the negligence results in serious injuries, including birth defects and developmental disabilities.
Birth defects and developmental disabilities can be the result of genetics or environmental factors, as well as medical mistakes during pregnancy, labor or delivery.
Birthing complications that result in a birth defect or a disability of any type need to be addressed immediately, for the well being on the child involved as well as the child's entire family.
