Dallas Birth Injury Lawyers

Allen & Pugh, P.C., Representing birth injury clients in Dallas, Texas

Now days, having children and the birthing process are relatively safe due to new technological advances and the ability of doctors to understand complications before they develop. While most mothers and babies are physically fatigued after the birthing process, they will recover within a few days and will be able to enjoy life together. However, there is still a small percent of deliveries that involve physical complications. While most of these complications are minor, some are quite serious, and can lead to life-altering consequences for the newborn infant.

While doctors, nurses, surgeons, and hospital staff are well-trained on what they should be doing during the birthing process, they may still fail to act with a reasonable standard of care or behave in a reckless manner that may endanger a newborn child.

When an infant incurs an injury during the birthing process, it is legally referred to as a birth injury, and the after effects can follow the infant throughout the duration of his/her life. Birth injuries are known to attribute to medical conditions like:

Cerebral palsy
Quadriplegia
Paralysis
Brain damage
Down syndrome
Facial injuries (caused by medical instruments, like forceps)
