Arizona Birth Injury Attorneys
Attorney Representation in Phoenix, Arizona Since 1996
Birth injuries can come in many forms, but the result is almost always the same: a pervasive sense of betrayal and anger. Childbirth is a delicate process no matter what the circumstances, and the last thing you want is for a preventable error to injure an otherwise healthy child. Because injuries such as these may come with lifelong consequences, it is important to recover some measure of compensation for the difficulties ahead. Step one is to retain an excellent birth injury attorney in your corner, as the litigation that may arise could become complex and contentious.
Birth injuries tend to range from mild to severe. Some of the least damaging examples include minor incidents like forceps bruising, while serious birth injuries may arise from rough handling or oxygen deprivation. Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury can all arise from botched delivery protocols or execution, making these issues distinct from more conventional birth defects. Understanding what went wrong is a rigorous process, and your attorney will need the wherewithal and resources to recreate every decision made by your caregivers, and every step that was taken along the way.
The settlements that can result from a clear instance of birth injury can be proportionally large, of course. Depending on the parties involved and the degree of negligence, it is not unusual for parents to earn settlements of six figures and higher for a significant birth injury. There is not a family in Arizona that wouldn't trade the money for a healthy child, of course, but achieving some measure of justice may help somewhat with the burdens of grief and care. An experienced birth injury attorney can walk you through the steps and manage your expectations clearly, ensuring you understand exactly where your litigation is headed.
There are few injuries more devastating than a birth injury, and knowing another party is at fault can be an agonizing burden. If you want to seek a better settlement for this experience and gain valuable support for a possible lifetime of medical care, it is important that you contact a birth injury professional right away.
