Birth Injury lawyers of Chicago

A difficult birth or injury to the baby can occur as a result of the baby's size or position during labor and delivery. A birth injury can be categorized as any type of injury or damage to an infant's body before, during, or just after the child's birth. Complications during the course of pregnancy or labor can also result in a wide range of complications for a newborn baby. Birth injuries vary greatly - from being very minor to so severe as to cause the death of the infant.

Traumatic birth injuries may be the result of medical malpractice. The birth of a child is one of life’s miraculous wonders. Yet, when a mother or child suffers a birth injury, families are often left bewildered about how or why such a tragedy could occur. Many birth injuries involve unavoidable and unforeseeable complications, but other times, injuries may directly be the result of negligence, medical error, or malpractice.
