When something goes wrong during labor or delivery, and a newborn suffers an injury or experiences health problems, it can be difficult for parents to understand what happened and why. Healthcare providers' explanations may not tell the whole story, especially if it involves mistakes made during labor and delivery. If your child suffered a birth injury, you should meet with a birth injury lawyer for a free consultation. While not every birth injury is caused by an act of medical malpractice, an experienced birth injury lawyer, working with medical experts, can evaluate the facts of your case and advise whether or not you have a claim for compensation.
