The birth process has many inherent dangers, and obstetricians take great care to ensure that their patients carefully monitored throughout the pregnancy to avoid the known problems that can result when the mother is in poor health, has a medical condition or when other possible problems may exist.  In most cases, the birth is a joyful experience and mother and child survive the experience well.  In other cases, there may be physical problems that cannot be avoided, no matter the medical care and birth injuries occur.  In the most tragic of situations, a negligent doctor or other medical professional fails to recognize a child in distress early enough to address it with the proper medical intervention, and a birth injury is the result.  In any such case, it is critical that you contact an Orange County personal injury attorney to advise you of the legal procedure that must be initiated at once in these medical malpractice cases.

There are number of serious injuries that can occur as a result of medical negligence.  These include Erb's palsy, Brachial Plexus, Cerebral Palsy and brain damage.  When the baby is large there can be difficulty in the birth process, causing serious problems for the child if not carefully and correctly managed, even prior to the birth of the child.  When a mother has suffered from pregestational diabetes, the baby is often much larger than usual, and this can create difficulties in natural childbirth.  Any such case, if properly recognized, would have been carefully monitored throughout the pregnancy and measures to avoid the dangers, in most cases would have been arranged prior to the birth.

A moment of inattention by a physician, nurse or anesthesiologist can result in a damaged future for the innocent child, and a devastating loss for the parents.  Many such cases in which the baby was seriously damaged can mean a lifetime of medical care and treatment for the innocent victim.  In cases in which the proper or expected level of care was not provided, it is likely that it is a case of medical malpractice.  Such cases require extensive documentation and require skilled legal assistance from an attorney from Pacific Attorney Group.  In order to successfully recover compensation for damages, a claim or lawsuit must be filed against the negligent parties, which could include the facility, the physician and others present during the birth.  To evaluate your case, contact the legal team at the firm as soon as possible.
