Scranton & Wilkes-Barre Medical Malpractice Lawyer
AttorneyHandling Birth Injuries
Welcoming a healthy new baby into the world is every new parent's dream, so when something goes wrong it can be devastating, especially if it could have been prevented. Every year in the United States, it is estimated that thousands of babies will be injured or will die because of a birth injury. In addition, a substantial amount of new mothers will also be injured or lose their lives tragically due to preventable medical mistakes.
Birth injuries occur when a physician or medical professional who is responsible for the care of a mother and baby act negligently or carelessly. A doctor may fail to diagnose, misdiagnosis or improperly diagnose a mother or child and this can lead to very severe complications at the time of birth. If you are a victim or the family member of a victim of a birth injury caused by medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, please contact a Scranton birth injuries attorney at the Rogan Law Firm immediately.
