Utah Birth Injury Lawyer
Understanding Birth Injury
Bringing a baby into this world can be one of the most amazing and meaningful experiences of your life and you will do anything to protect your child. If you or your child was hurt during pregnancy or child birth, a Utah birth injury lawyer at Robert J. DeBry & Associates can help you deal with the stress caused by this injury so you can focus on your child.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, birth defects affect about one in every 33 babies born in the United States each year. When that birth injury could have been prevented or happened due to the negligence of your health care provider, you need an experienced Utah birth injury lawyer to help you get the money you are owed for you or your child’s traumatic injury.
How Did This Happen?
If your health care provider didn’t catch the early warning signs or symptoms that signal a potential birth defect or your physician prescribed a drug that harmed you or your baby, you may be entitled to compensation. There are several types of birth defects and injuries, and many different ways you and your child could have been injured, including:
- autism
- bleeding or hemorrhaging
- brain damage
- cerebral palsy
- collarbone fracture
- c-section delivery
- ectopic pregnancy
- epilepsy
- Erb's palsy (brachial plexus)
- facial paralysis
- forceps bruising
- gestational diabetes
- hypoxia or toxemia
- miscarriage
- premature labor
- stillbirth
Did you or your child suffer or continue to suffer from any of these conditions? If so, your child’s birth injury could have happened due to the negligence of your health care provider. Fill out a free online consultation request form now and get your questions answered.
