Causes of Birth Injuries

As a parent you know that some of the most serious and debilitating injuries that can happen to a child are birth injuries. These injuries can occur before, during or upon the birth of the baby and are in some cases the result of medical negligence. Although some birth injuries may occur from circumstances beyond one's control, injuries do happen because of the mistakes, delays and miscalculations of the physician or hospital staff by:

• Unusual delays in performing a C-Section
• Excessive force during the delivery or mistakes in the use of forceps
• Miscalculations made with regard to the size of the baby

If your baby has suffered a serious birth injury or sadly did not survive due to the negligent and careless actions of the medical staff you have the right to file a claim for compensation. An Illinois personal injury attorney may be able to help you during this trying time in filing a birth injury claim. Call a lawyer at Ferris, Thompson & Zweig Ltd for a free initial consultation.
