Arizona Cerebral Palsy Attorney
Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona
Birth injuries and delivery mistakes are the leading cause of Cerebral Palsy throughout the United States, accounting for thousands of medical malpractice claims each year. Doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers are responsible for the safety of your baby before, during and after birth. If your baby was the victim of a doctor or nurse’s negligence and wrongdoing it is critical that you speak with a Phoenix Cerebral Palsy lawyer immediately.
At Goldwater Law Firm, PC we dedicate ourselves to seeking justice on our clients’ behalf. If your baby now has Cerebral Palsy, (which is a serious brain injury) due to a doctor or nurse’s mistake you deserve to receive monetary compensation for: medical expenses, ongoing care, loss of wages, emotional trauma, pain and suffering and much more.
The following can lead to a baby being born with Cerebral Palsy:
- Failure to respond to the mother’s changing conditions, such as high blood pressure or toxemia
- Not responding to changes in the fetal heart rate
- Failure to detect a prolapsed umbilical cord which may cut off oxygen to the baby’s brain
- Leaving a baby in the birth canal too long, which can cause a lack of oxygen to the brain
- Excessive use of vacuum extraction
- Improper use of forceps
- Failure to recognize/treat seizures immediately following delivery
- Failure to perform a cesarean section in the presence of fetal distress
- Failure to plan a c-section for an overlarge or sick baby
- Failure to timely diagnose and treat certain medical conditions (i.e. jaundice or meningitis)
