Los Angeles Infant Brain Damage / Brain Trauma Birth Injury
Infant Brain Damage / Brain Trauma Birth Injuries in Los Angeles, California
Infant brain damage, brain injury, or brain trauma generally occurs because of negligent or reckless medical staff, such as doctors, nurses and other hospital staff. If your child suffered any brain damage or brain injury during birth, it is important that these negligent people be held accountable. It is very important that these individuals who performed medical malpractice are held accountable for the lifelong injuries and disabilities they caused. The types of birth injuries which could result from your infant's brain damage can include physical disability, mental disability, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, or even death.
Your infant may have received brain damage or brain injury during the delivery process in the delivery room where the medical professionals failed to provide adequate medical treatment to your infant child. Specifically, some possible causes of your infant's brain damage with resulting permanent birth injuries can include:
- Administration of Contraindicated Drugs;
- Complications of vaginal birth after Caesarian Section (C-Section);
- Hypoxia / Lack of Oxygen / Deprivation of Oxygen;
- Delayed Caesarian Section (C-Section);
- Drug Interactions;
- Drug Overdose;
- Fetal Distress;
- Fetus Caught in Birth Canal;
- Failure to Monitor Baby's Vital Signs;
- Failure to Diagnose; and
- Improperly Removing Fetus;
- Trauma during Delivery.
Additionally, if your child does suffer brain injuries during delivery, there will be immediate costs as well as future costs which could cost millions of dollars for treatment. Specifically, the parents of a child who is suffering from brain injury will have to pay all medical costs, future medical care, lifelong attendant care or personnel, costs to modify their home to make it easier for their child who may be in a wheelchair or bedridden, as well as lost opportunity to earn a living.
