Compassionate Advocacy for Families Affected by Birth Injuries
Welcoming a new life should be a moment of joy and hope. However, when medical negligence during childbirth leads to injury, families are left facing unforeseen challenges and emotional distress. Birth injuries can have a devastating and long-lasting effect on families. They often face a long journey of medical care, therapies, and financial and emotional strain. The toll can be overwhelming, especially when the injury was preventable.
At KGH Attorneys at Law, our team of experienced New York birth injury attorneys, with a proven track record of success, helps families seek justice and secure the financial support needed for their child’s care.
Understanding Birth Injuries
A birth injury refers to harm suffered by a baby before, during, or shortly after childbirth, often due to medical negligence or improper care by doctors, nurses, or hospital staff. Some common types of birth injuries include:
- Brachial Plexus Palsy (Erb’s Palsy)
- Bone Fractures
- Cephalohematoma
- Caput Succedaneum
- Perinatal Asphyxia
- Intracranial Hemorrhage
- Subconjunctival Hemorrhage
These injuries can result in permanent disabilities and emotional trauma, often requiring years or a lifetime of specialized medical care and therapy.
