Birth Injury Lawyers New York City
Contacting a lawyer may be the last thing that occurs to a family suffering the terrible trauma that can accompany an experience with birth injury in a New York City hospital. For most families, it tends to be a time to depend on the support of loved ones and clergy. Unfortunately, it may also need to be a time to consider some hard realities.
If your child has survived a birth injury, you may need to prepare for the following:
- Many kinds of birth injury can lead to a need for expensive, ongoing intervention such as physical therapy
- The effects of the birth injury through childhood and the remainder of your child's life may require ongoing medical care by specialists and repeated hospital stays
- Doctors, New York City hospitals and medical staff seldom disclose information voluntarily if it may lead parents to conclude that medical malpractice was to blame for a birth injury
- Unless you contact a lawyer promptly to discuss a birth injury case, your delay may make it impossible to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit effectively
