After you spent the entire nine months looking forward to your baby’s birth, you understandably feel devastated about your baby being born with a serious and preventable injury. This damage may stem directly from the neglect or malice of the medical team assigned to your care and that of your new baby.
However, you also have the right to hold that team accountable for your baby’s suffering and the punitive damages your entire family has sustained. You can start by hiring counsel like an experienced birth injury lawyer in Dallas to take your case.
Proving Negligence or Malice
When you have this type of attorney on retainer, you can build a case to prove that your medical team treated you and your infant with either malice or negligence. Your nurse, for example, may have ignored your pleas for help to address unusual pain. Your doctor may also have ignored the low heartbeat of your baby prior to the baby being born.
Your doctor may also have used forceps or surgical instruments that inflicted injury on your infant and on you. You can have your attorney gather the facts of what took place during your delivery and use them to build a case that you can take to court and win.
