A birth injury happens when a baby is harmed during birth. These injuries, which can include nerve damage, broken bones, and more, are different from birth defects. Birth defects are things that happen naturally in the womb, like genetic mutations or infections.
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most joyful moments. But when medical negligence turns this happy occasion into a nightmare, it can be devastating. Mistakes made before, during, or after birth can have lasting effects, sometimes altering a child’s entire future. According to the CDC, about 7 out of every 1,000 babies are injured at birth. At Pulvers, Pulvers, & Thompson, L.L.P., we understand the heartache of seeing your child suffer.
