Preventable Birth Injuries

by Stephen Bilkis

Unfortunately infants sustain birth injuries at an all too normal pace. Even more unfortunate is that a lot of such injuries are caused by the negligence of medical personnel.

A mother in labor has certain responsibilities, but so too does the medical team attending her child’s birth. For the mother, she is entrusting her health and the life of her child to her medical doctor and his or her staff.

There are injuries that are not preventable. No matter what safety procedures and perfect protocols are in place, sometimes an injury occurs. This is certainly explainable and even expected when one stops to ponder just what is happening at child birth.

A distraught woman, who recently lost a child, claims it was her doctor’s negligence that lead to the infant’s untimely death, said a NY Birth Injury Lawyer.

The woman, who is seeking $2.5 million from her doctor, reportedly had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes early on in her pregnancy and was also considered high risk because she was 41 years old.

“The plaintiff had or developed known risk factors associated with her pregnancy including, but not limited to, being 41 years of age at the time of conception and gestational diabetes,” a NY City Birth Injury Lawyer explained.
