The birth of a child should be one of the greatest moments of someone’s life. Mistakes made during delivery that result in a lifetime of physical and/or mental disability can turn this joyous occasion into a traumatic event. While birth injuries are not always avoidable, they are sometimes caused by error or medical negligence. A birth injury lawyer can help you receive the compensation needed to pay for a lifetime of expensive medical treatment, and to replace income that was given up to provide care for your child.
