Birth Injury Attorney Helping Victims of Medical Malpractice in New York including Buffalo, Rochester and Melville (Long Island) New York
One of the most tragic events a new parent can face is being told their child has suffered a birth injury. This news becomes even more traumatic when the parents learn their child’s injury could have been prevented.
A birth injury can occur at many different times throughout the birthing process. Birth injuries can vary from being very minor to catastrophic and can even result in death.
Some birth injuries may not be diagnosed for months or years after birth. Parents are often left with the belief that their child’s injury was genetic, when in fact many of these birth defects could have been prevented.
Most parents have no way of knowing what happened to their child and many do not know where to begin to search for answers. We are here to help.
Two common types of birth injury are Cerebral Palsy and Erbs Palsy (brachial plexus).
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is damage to the brain caused during pregnancy, delivery or childhood. The damage to a child’s brain can interfere with messages between the brain and the body. Read more.
Erbs Palsy
Erbs Palsy is a brachial plexus injury ("BPI"). The brachial plexus is a large system of nerves, which runs down the spinal column to all of the muscles in the shoulders and arms. Read more.
We welcome you to review the information we have on our site relative to these injuries.
