If you are a recent parent, you know how alarming it can be if your newborn becomes unexpectedly sick. It’s even more upsetting if your baby’s illness won’t go away—and if you experienced a difficult childbirth, you may suspect that a birth injury is to blame.
The idea that your child was injured at birth is painful enough; even worse is the suspicion that your newborn’s injuries could be the result of a doctor’s negligence. If medical malpractice is involved, it can leave you traumatized, feeling betrayed, and burdened with staggering medical debt.
