The birth of a child is supposed to be an exciting, joyous event, but not all deliveries go as expected. Sometimes, doctors and nurses have to act quickly to protect a mother and her child. When medical professionals fail to perform their responsibilities in a timely, accurate manner, it can leave innocent babies with devastating disabilities that impact the rest of their lives. When birth injury malpractice affects you and your child, you deserve justice.
While some birth injuries are simply tragic accidents that could not have been prevented, others result from carelessness or negligence by medical caregivers. In these instances, a birth injury lawyer can make a claim for compensation to help you provide your child with the medical care, therapy, and other special treatment required for their birth injuries.
Birth injuries can quickly turn a happy moment into a stressful, tumultuous journey — one that could last a lifetime.
At Patino Law Firm, our birth injury attorneys are dedicated to standing up for the rights of injured children and their families. They have extensive experience representing clients in cases involving:
We will hold the medical professional who delivered your child accountable for their negligence by filing a birth injury lawsuit on your behalf. While no amount of money can ever compensate you for your situation, it can help you provide for your son or daughter and give them the best possible care.
Just as important, your actions will also help prevent future malpractice so no other parent has to suffer the pain of a difficult birth that could have been so easily prevented.
Facial paralysis is one of the most common birth injuries resulting from negligence. It can be particularly devastating, as it can have long-term, if not permanent, repercussions.
Facial paralysis often happens due to a delivery doctor or nurse’s negligence or recklessness during the birth. It can be caused by many actions, including:
Babies with facial paralysis might struggle to express themselves or develop their speech due to damage to the facial nerves. But paralysis doesn’t just lead to physical limitations — it can also cause significant emotional trauma to the child and their family.
Because of the trauma this can cause, the medical professional responsible should be held liable. Our experienced and empathetic personal injury lawyers in McAllen are dedicated to getting you and your child justice.
