Chicago Birth Injury Attorneys
Birth injuries occur when problems arise during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, causing serious injury to a newborn infant. Certainly, not all birth injuries are attributable to medical error, and some simply cannot be avoided. Many others, however, occur as the direct result of a doctor or other medical provider’s failure to carefully monitor the mother or baby during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.
When babies are harmed because of human error, negligent health care providers must be held accountable.
