Lawyers for Babies Suffering Brain Damage from Malpractice, Neglect, Injury or Other Cause

Brain injuries are all too common while the baby is still in the womb (in vitro) or during delivery. A brain injury can be caused by lack of oxygen such as when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck; the baby gets stuck under the mother’s pubic bone; or, a cesarean section is delayed for hours while vaginal birth is attempted.

Other causes of brain injury are maternal infection, genetic malformation, premature birth, blood disease, and jaundice. In some cases, brain injury could have been avoided but for the doctor’s negligent action or inaction. In other words, the negligent doctor did not follow standard medical protocol for his or her medical specialty and an injury results.

If you suspect that a child’s brain injury has been caused by a negligent doctor or staff, the lawyers at Duffy & Duffy will offer you a free, no obligation, case evaluation.

To help you, here are some signs that malpractice may have caused your child’s brain injury:

• Forceps or vacuum extraction were used to remove the baby from the birth canal
• The baby scored low on the Apgar test (10 is a perfect score)
• A cesarean is performed after hours of attempted vaginal delivery
• The umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck during delivery
• The baby was blue at birth
• The baby did not cry at birth
• The baby has to stay in the hospital more than one night
• The baby has to stay in the NICU
• The doctor, nurse, or other staff indicates that something should not have happened or something should have been done differently
