One of the worst things to happen when you are enjoying a particularly joyous and exciting moment in your life such as a child's birth is to discover that some form of negligence has occurred that caused your child to suffer an injury. Birth injuries are some of the most dangerous types of injuries as they can cause permanent damage to the vulnerable body of a newborn, or soon-to-be-born child, and can last for the rest of the child's life, permanently robbing them of their full enjoyment of life which they would have otherwise had. If your child has suffered an injury during birth, contact a Hartford personal injury attorney immediately for legal assistance and guidance.
Due to the vulnerability and sensitive natures of births and newborn children, the utmost care and safety is required from the doctors and other medical professionals, as with any medical procedure. Any form of negligence or carelessness could result in the serious injury or death of a child, including long lasting injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, broken bones, head trauma, or other types of injuries. Some of these can cause permanent damage including paralysis or other physical or mental disabilities for the rest of the child's life. The person who causes these types of injuries should always be held responsible in the event that they did not act in a reasonable or caring manner.
