Minneapolis Birth Injury Lawyer

Minneapolis Birth Injury Attorney

Birth injury occurs when a doctor, anesthesiologist, nurse, obstetrician or other medical physician provides substandard care during the labor and delivery as well as prenatal or postnatal period. Failure to provide adequare care may result in devastating effects, including severe infections, bone fractures, brain damage, bruising and skin irritation, internal bleeding, brachial plexus, cerebral palsy, damage to the spinal cord, paralysis, and even death.

These birth injuries can often be prevented with adequate care, as well as appropriate monitoring and treatment. A failure to diagnose a certain medical condition, the wrong response in a situation, or a physician's lack of attention can result in injuries that will last a lifetime.
