Arizona Law Firm Now Accepting Birth Injury Claims

The Arizona birth injury attorneys at Phillips Law Group are looking to hear from parents who had a child that sustained a birth injury due to medical malpractice.  Medical malpractice is when a healthcare professional provides a level of care that is below the standard. If an infant has suffered a birth injury due to medical malpractice, the family may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering by filing a legal claim.

Arizona birth injuries are generally caused by any type of medical malpractice during the birthing process. This includes incidents that occur before, during and after the delivery of the baby. Doctors that use overly aggressive force during the delivery of a baby can cause a birth injury. Additionally, if a doctor fails to order a timely C-section, the infant can be injured at birth. Another common cause of birth injuries is improper neonatal care.

Erb’s palsy and cerebral palsy are two of the most common types of birth injuries. Other common types of birth injuries include brachial plexus damage, shoulder dystocia, bone fractures, brain damage, internal bleeding and paralysis. Birth injuries can create life-long challenges for the infant and their family.

There is a statue of limitations for how long a family can file an Arizona birth injury lawsuit. A delay in filing a claim can prevent the family from ever recovering any damages for the birth injury. The birth injury attorneys at Phillips Law Group can help parents determine their eligibility for legal recourse. Phillips Law Group offers free case evaluations for birth injury victims.
