Milwaukee Birth Injury Lawyer

The birth of a child is one of the miraculous wonders many have the privilege to witness in their lifetimes. When a mother or child suffers a birth injury, families are often left bewildered, wondering how and why such a tragedy occurred. Many birth injury situations involve unforeseeable complications that must be treated as best as possible when they occur. In other situations, a birth injury is preventable and may be the result of medical error, negligence, or malpractice. Birth injuries and birth traumas are often considered the same thing.

Common causes of birth injuries include:

• Complications during pregnancy
• Improper dating
• Complications during childbirth
• Ob/Gyn errors such as mishandling of an instrument, improper delivery technique, incorrect estimation of birth date, improper prenatal testing, failure to perform C-section in a timely manner, diagnostic errors, and failure to treat a condition
• Obstetrical mistakes such as failure to recognize fetal distress, failure to diagnose or treat infection, and failure to respond to complications in a timely manner

When medical malpractice is the cause of a child or mother's birth injury, the responsible party can be held liable for the victims' losses and suffering.
