Birth Injuries Caused by Forceps
Forceps may be used to assist with pulling a newborn through the birth canal during a difficult delivery. Medical professionals who perform procedures using forceps must do so according to an accepted standard of care. If they are negligent in any way and cause injuries as a result, they can be held liable for the damages victims suffer.
Forceps must be used at appropriate times and in accordance with established and accepted medical protocol. Medical professionals should also properly deal with complications that may arise. Unfortunately, negligence and inexperience on the parts of doctors and other medical professionals can lead to permanent injuries, including:
- Facial nerve damage
- Skull fractures and brain damage
- Subdural hemorrhaging
- Cerebral palsy
Whether you or your child have suffered injuries that require treatment or years of long-term care, Mirman, Markovits & Landau, P.C. wants to help you recover the compensation you rightfully deserve for:
- Medical expenses and future medical care
