What should I do if my child suffered a birth injury?

 

Answer:

If your child has suffered a birth injury, your first priority should be securing medical care for both the baby and the mother. Consult trusted healthcare providers for immediate treatment and ongoing support. Do not hesitate to seek a second opinion to ensure you have a full understanding of your child’s condition and treatment options. Counseling and therapy can also be valuable resources for families coping with the emotional impact of a birth injury.

Once your child’s health is stabilized, it’s important to explore your legal rights. A Dallas birth injury lawyer can investigate what caused the injury, collect medical records and expert testimony, and explain your options for pursuing compensation. Birth injury malpractice claims can help cover long-term expenses such as:

  • Specialized medical care and surgeries
  • Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation
  • Adaptive equipment and assistive technology
  • In-home nursing or lifetime care costs

One mistake in labor and delivery can lead to a lifetime of challenges and expenses. If negligence played a role in your child’s injury, your family should not bear the financial burden. Holding the responsible doctor or hospital accountable can help secure the resources your child will need to thrive.
