A child who is deprived of oxygen during the birth process, can develop brain damage from Hypoxia. The brain damage resulting from this is often diagnosed as Cerebral Palsy. There are many causes of Cerebral Palsy in children, some of which could have been prevented with attentive medical care.
Compromised Maternal Fetal Exchange resulting in Hypoxia
If a physician or nurse was negligent in caring for a patient during labor and delivery and that negligence resulted in damages to the child, the doctor or nurse should be responsible for the harm they caused.
Children who are severely injured during the birth process may often require extensive help and assistance to achieve their full life potential. The costs for specialized services for these children can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
Deal, Cooper & Holton has obtained numerous Multi-Million Dollar settlements to help meet the needs of those children who were injured during the birth process.
In 1998, Deal, Cooper & Holton achieved a $9 Million verdict for a little girl suffering from severe brain damage as a result of negligence in the birth process. At that time, it was the largest medical malpractice verdict ever awarded by a jury in Tennessee.
Deal, Cooper & Holton can evaluate your child's medical records to determine if medical negligence was involved in a birth related injury. Defective Products
Every year, manufacturers place defective and unreasonably dangerous products on the market. Year in and year out, those products are recalled, but often it is only after someone is severely injured or killed.
