Spinal Cord Injuries Attorney in Oregon
Our Portland Birth Injury Attorney Can Help You Seek Justice
An injury to the spinal cord can cause serious devastation to the lives
of the child and the child’s family. While complications may arise
during a birth, it is the responsibility of doctors, nurses, and the hospital
to anticipate these issues and take the proper steps to resolve them before
they become a problem. In some instances, it is the fault of these medical
professionals that an infant suffers from a spinal cord injury and paralysis
as a result.
If a spinal cord injury was the result of the doctor, nurse, or hospital
during the birthing process, you may be entitled to recover financial
compensation.

What causes spinal cord injuries during birth?
Spinal cord and
brain injuries are some of the most common kind of birth injury. A doctor must take care
every step of the delivery process to ensure that their actions do not
result in harm to the baby. In addition, it is the responsibility of a
medical professional to monitor the mother throughout her pregnancy to
reduce the chances of injury to the baby.
Examples of causes for this injury are:
- Improper use of forceps to extract the baby
- Failure to prescribe folic acid supplements
- Failure to treat or control diabetes or obesity
- Failure to prevent the use of certain medications
- Improper preparation for a larger-sized baby
- Delaying the C-section process when medically necessary
A spinal cord injury obtained during birth can cause a lifetime of issues
for the child. Not only will medical care be necessary, but the child
may additionally need rehabilitation, assistive devices, and permanent
care. This should not fall on your shoulders!
When a birth injury was cause by a doctor’s negligence, they should
be held accountable for their actions.
