What is the difference between birth defects and birth injuries?

Posted on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 9:59 am    

Many people do not understand the difference between birth defects and birth injuries. However, the difference between the two terms is very important for medical malpractice cases.

Birth defects are generally the result of inherent genetic problems or other maternal difficulties. Birth injuries, on the other hand, are the result of the birthing process. They typically are caused by the direct actions or inactions of medical professionals.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of medical malpractice, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.
