New Jersey Brain and Spinal Damage Attorneys

From a child’s birth up through adolescence and adulthood, brain and spine health are extremely important to his or her wellbeing. However, there are several potential delivery complications that could compromise a child’s good health. It is the duty of attending physicians to do their best to prevent such complications from occurring. Tragically, some serious birth injuries could be the fault of a negligent doctor or nurse.

If your child has been injured or disabled because of a medical provider’s mistakes, contact the New Jersey brain and spine injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529 to discuss your situation with a legal advisor today.

Consequences of Brain and Spinal Damage

In many cases, birth injuries are caused by the improper use of medical tools. If a physician uses vacuum extraction or forceps in order to assist a child’s birth, negligent handling can lead to serious complications with the child that may have immediate or developmental impacts on that child’s life. The following can be directly correlated to brain or spinal damage during birth:

  • Partial or complete paralysis
  • Memory loss or incapacity
  • Poor cognitive development
  • Death

As these injuries can range from debilitating to extreme, taking an infant’s brain and spinal health seriously should be a priority for any physician.
