birth trauma litigation

Birth trauma litigation involves legal cases where parents sue healthcare providers for injuries or harm caused to their baby or mother during childbirth due to medical negligence or error. These cases seek accountability and compensation for damages such as physical injury, developmental issues, or emotional distress. To succeed, the plaintiff must prove that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care, and this failure directly resulted in the injury. Such litigation aims to address wrongful acts, prevent future incidents, and support affected families through appropriate legal remedies.
