Birth injuries represent a serious medical and legal concern that can permanently impact a child's development and their family's wellbeing. When healthcare providers fail to meet the established standard of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, serious complications may arise that could have been prevented through proper medical attention and intervention. Given the significant physical, emotional, and financial implications of birth injuries, it is essential for affected families to fully understand their legal rights and options for pursuing appropriate compensation and care for their child.
