Birth and Child Injuries
Pennsylvania Birth Inujury
New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania birth injuries can cause some of the most lasting and devastating illnesses and conditions, robbing children of abilities and dreams before they are even aware of their losses. Parents may spend a lifetime helping their children born with cerebral palsy adapt to the world around them and worrying about their health and how they will be received by others.
Their entire lives, children born with cerebral palsy can be encumbered with physical therapy, medications, speech and vocational therapy, orthotic devices, wheelchairs, speech aids, discrimination, and the need to rely on others for help with daily activities. When these burdens come from the negligence or medical malpractice of a doctor, the frustration and emotional strain is compounded with the knowledge that your child's birth injury could have been avoided.
The doctors and caregivers responsible for your child’s birth injury need to be held accountable. The experienced birth injury lawyers at Lundy Law will fight to get the compensation you deserve for the therapy, medication, medical expenses, and treatment your child needs to navigate through life. Birth injuries can result in lifelong illnesses that require constant medical care, which can be expensive, time consuming, and emotionally exhausting. Let us ease the legal burden of fighting for the compensation you deserve.

Causes of birth injuries
All too often, birth injuries result from negligence on the part of medical professionals. Complications during pregnancy can be improperly diagnosed or overlooked. During labor, conditions can rapidly change, requiring quick but informed decisions to be made by caregivers. If a doctor misuses a medical instrument or roughly handles a child, permanent scarring and nerve damage can occur.
Birth injuries can cause cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy, which affect muscle movement and coordination. Erb’s palsy results from damage to nerves between the shoulder and spine and may heal over time, but there is no cure for cerebral palsy. These conditions may also be caused by other, natural factors, like infections during pregnancy, premature birth, blood disease, or jaundice from liver complications, so it is important to document the care you received from a physician.
If at any point a healthcare professional fails to adhere to established professional standards, damages may be recoverable under medical malpractice laws.
