Birth Injury Personal Injury Attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia
When you are giving birth to a child, you are trusting the physicians and healthcare professionals at your hospital with the life of your infant. These individuals have an obligation to meet the high standards established by the medical profession. When they fail to do so, and your child is injured as a result, they can be held accountable in a medical malpractice claim.
Birth injuries are generally caused by something going wrong during labor and delivery. Many birth injuries occur because a doctor does not adequately respond to conditions and complications during a woman's pregnancy or delivery process.
