A birth injury lawyer understands that too often, preventable birth injuries are caused by medical malpractice. Expectant parents trust medical providers to provide competent care when delivering their child. Unfortunately, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals can make mistakes. When a child suffers a birth injury due to medical negligence, the consequences can be severe and long-term.

Our firm understands how devastating a birth injury can be for a family and can help you hold those responsible accountable for the harm your child has suffered.

A birth injury or death of an infant can impact a family for life. If your child has been harmed by medical negligence, your family may be entitled to compensation. Contact an experienced birth injury lawyer at Bonina & Bonina, P.C., today to schedule an appointment to review your case.

Why You Need a Birth Injury Lawyer

When a child suffers a birth injury because of medical negligence, there can be significant financial and emotional costs. Every circumstance is unique, and the damages in this type of case will depend on the extent of the birth injury as well as other factors.

Some of the causes of birth injury due to medical malpractice may include:

 

If your child is suffering from what appears to be a congenital disability or birth injury, you may be trying to understand what went wrong and what you can do to meet your child’s needs.
