Before a child is born, parents build hopes and dreams around what they imagine their child will one day become: a graceful dancer, football star, or musical prodigy. Their thoughts can be shattered in an instant, though, should a physician misuse medical equipment, prescribe a harmful drug, misdiagnose a pregnant woman’s condition, or carelessly handle an infant during childbirth.
A birth injury is a serious matter that commands the attention of a serious lawyer. The knowledgeable birth injury lawyers at Lundy Law will fight to hold the doctors responsible for your child’s birth injury accountable for their careless actions.
Birth injuries can cause some of the most lasting and devastating illnesses and conditions. The child injured at birth, along with his parents, must live with the costs of physical therapy and medication, the frustration of discrimination, and the emotional stress of lost dreams and disappointment. If your child has been the victim of an avoidable birth injury accident, get a birth injury lawyer who will stand up for the compensation you deserve.

The Most Common Birth Injuries
Birth injuries result from negligent actions performed by doctors during pregnancy or labor. Even if birthing conditions drastically change, physicians are still responsible to uphold the standard of care they promised. The most common birth injuries that result from negligent caregivers include:
- Cerebral Palsy—A complex brain injury that causes physical disability in the development of a child. There is no cure for Cerebral Palsy.
- Erb’s Palsy—A condition that causes paralysis to a child’s arm when the main nerves in the child’s arm and shoulder are damaged during birth.
