We Help Families Recover When Negligent Medical Care Affects The Health And Well-Being Of A Newborn.
If your child was born with a birth injury, don’t assume the obstetrician and nurses did everything that could be done to prevent the injury from occurring. After listening to your case, a skilled New York birth injury lawyer at the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny can provide you with all of your legal options, including an evaluation of whether or not you have grounds to recover financial compensation through a medical malpractice claim under medical malpractice law.
While it is reasonable to expect that doctors and nurses will take every possible precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of a patient, you must remember they are human, and despite years of education and training, they do make mistakes. When they do, they can — and should — be held accountable for the devastating consequences. A careful investigation of the situation may reveal that your child’s injury is the result of medical negligence, and if this is the case, an attorney from our firm may be able to help you file a malpractice claim for damages.
Recovering monetary damages in a birth injury lawsuit depends on being able to prove that the mistakes of the obstetrician, nurse, or other medical personnel are responsible for the injuries your child has suffered. Common examples of medical negligence in this context include brain damage caused by vacuum extractor misuse and forceps misuse, as well as brachial plexus injuries caused by the use of excessive force in handling shoulder dystocia.
