New York City Birth Injury Attorneys
Every time a mother gives birth, there is the potential for serious complications. Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals in the labor and delivery process are trained to deal with emergency situations as they arise. When these professionals fail to deliver quality care, serious injury to the child or mother can be the result. One condition that can be the result of medical malpractice or negligence is cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain before or during the birth process. People with cerebral palsy can have severe difficulties in movement, coordination and speech.
Cerebral palsy is usually caused when the fetus does not receive sufficient amounts of oxygen. When doctors or nurses misread electronic fetal monitor strips or delay delivering the child by Caesarean section, the child may suffer for life as a result. At Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates, our lawyers are dedicated to holding medical professionals accountable for the mistakes they make. David J. Hernandez is a Life Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and has been selected as a Super Lawyer in 2010 and 2007. We are proud of our record of success representing people who have been injured by another's negligence. Contact our law firm today.
Fighting to Get Financial Resources to Help Your Child
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average lifetime economic costs associated with cerebral palsy total more than $900,000. The facts of each case are different, but it is clear that if your child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, he or she will need substantial financial resources to pay for lifelong medical costs and other costs. We will use recognized experts to show how medical negligence harmed your child and to show how the costs of your child's care and treatment affect you financially.
We understand the devastation that cerebral palsy can cause, and we are committed to helping your child lead the fullest possible life going forward.
