The Bronx Birth Injury Attorneys Fighting For Your Child’s Future
The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, but medical negligence during pregnancy, labor or delivery in the Bronx and across New York can lead to devastating injuries that affect your child’s entire life.
At Anthony L. Verrelli & Associates, Attorneys at Law, our Bronx birth injury lawyers understand the emotional and financial challenges families face after a preventable birth injury. We help families in the Bronx secure the compensation needed for their child’s current and future care while holding negligent medical providers accountable for their actions.
Common Types Of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries range from mild conditions that resolve quickly to severe impairments requiring lifelong care. Among the most serious birth injuries we handle for the Bronx families are:
- Cerebral palsy resulting from oxygen deprivation during delivery
- Brachial plexus injuries, including Erb’s palsy and Klumpke’s palsy
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) from reduced oxygen to the brain
- Fractures to the skull, clavicle or limbs
- Brain damage from untreated jaundice or infections
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation services that can place tremendous financial strain on families.
What Causes Birth Injuries?
Many birth injuries result from preventable medical errors and negligence. Common causes include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress signs during labor
- Delayed cesarean section when complications arise
- Improper use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors
- Medication errors during pregnancy or delivery
- Failure to diagnose maternal infections or conditions
Determining exactly how and why a birth injury occurred requires a thorough investigation by medical and legal professionals.
