A Scottsdale, AZ birth injury lawyer knows that birth injuries are terrible conditions that occur because of negligence committed by doctors, nurses or other medical professionals. A birth injury can result in serious consequences, and it can limit the cognitive or physical development of a child in significant ways. Sometimes the effects are even permanent. Some common birth injuries include bruises, forceps marks, fractures, and facial paralysis. Others include hemorrhaging, bleeding and brachial palsy. Even if your child’s injury was minor, it can still affect their health later on, so you are encouraged to speak to a lawyer about your case.
