Dallas Personal Injury Attorney Blog

The majority of birth injuries are caused by medical errors occurring before, during, or after delivery of the baby. The most common cause of birth injuries is a lack of oxygen and/or blood flow to the baby. Often, this is preventable if the medical staff takes the appropriate precautions or responds properly to complications during delivery.

Other potential causes of birth injuries include:

• Failure to respond to fetal distress
• Delay in ordering a cesarean section
• Failure to diagnose gestational diabetes
• Failure to respond to bleeding
• Failure to anticipate complications of a larger baby
• Improper monitoring of the baby's vitals
• Medication errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to perform genetic testing for Down syndrome, Spina Bifida, Huntington's disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and Fragile X

In order to ensure success in your birth injury claim, you will need to prove that the medical professional acted negligently. To prove negligence, you will need expert testimony from medical professionals.

When you are injured in a car accident, you hope that your insurance company will come to your aid and respond to your claim promptly. After all, when faced with mounting medical bills and property damage to your vehicle, it is easy to get financially buried rather quickly.

Unfortunately, most insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying money. Therefore, they often delay responding to your claim as long as possible in order to put off paying your settlement. In these situations, pursuing your car accident insurance claim may seem like a full-time job. When you are trying to recover compensation from the other driver's insurance company, this fight can be even more difficult.

In these situations, it is best not to pursue your insurance claim alone. Even if you finally get a response out of the insurance company, they will most likely not offer you a fair settlement that compensates you for the full value of your damages. Your best chance of receiving maximum compensation in the shortest time frame is to hire an experienced car accident attorney.
