Birth Injury

The birth of a child is a joyous affair for the child's parents and their family and friends. Sadly, this joy can quickly turn to unfathomable grief if the baby or the mother is injured or dies before, during or after the child has been born due to the carelessness or negligence of a treatment provider. Childbirth is an exceptionally vulnerable time for the mother and child, and preventable injuries are devastating for the family. If your family is struggling with the grief of a birth injury, the Northern California birth injury lawyers at Balamuth Harrington, LLP, may be able to help you establish that medical negligence caused the death or a lifetime of lost function and ability for a child.

The vast majority of doctors and other treatment providers go to great lengths to ensure that patients under their care receive the best medical care possible and make every effort to ensure that mother and baby are in the best of health. However, like other professions, some medical professionals discharge their duties in a careless and negligent manner, putting the people under their care at unnecessary risk. When patients are injured because of medical malpractice, the injured party has the burden of proof of substandard care. Our Northern California birth injury attorneys have many years of experience helping the families of women and infants who have suffered any one of a number of injuries during the neonatal period, childbirth or postnatal period.
