What Constitutes A Birth Injury?
Families put their trust and faith in their doctor’s hands when it is time to give birth. Unfortunately, that trust may be broken when accidents occur. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), reports that about 7 of every 1,000 children will suffer from a birth injury. If you or your baby suffered any serious injuries during the birthing process, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your pain and suffering.
