Understanding Your Child’s Condition
We know you’re grappling with a lot of information right now about your child’s future. Here’s what you need to know about your child’s condition. Brain damage in infants can occur for various reasons, some of which may be due to medical oversight. Common causes include:
- Oxygen deprivation during birth
- Physical trauma during delivery
- Untreated infections
- Severe jaundice
- Infant stroke
Our birth injury lawyers are here to help you understand what happened and why so you can make informed decisions about your next steps, including filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against the people who cared for your child’s birth.
Recognizing the Signs
Brain damage may only appear once your child shows unusual symptoms. If you’ve noticed any of the following signs, your instincts may be telling you something isn’t right:
- Unusual muscle tone (too stiff or too floppy)
- Seizures
- Difficulty feeding
- Excessive crying or irritability
- Delays in reaching developmental milestones
- Problems with vision or hearing
We urge you to seek medical attention promptly if you’ve observed any of these symptoms in your baby. Early intervention can significantly improve your child’s prognosis.
Can I Hold My Doctor Accountable?
If your child’s brain damage resulted from medical negligence, you have the right to seek compensation to ensure your child gets the best care possible. In Delaware, you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit to recover damages for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Special education needs
- Pain and suffering
- Lost future earning potential for your child
- And much more.
While Delaware has a two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, there are exceptions for cases involving children. With the help of a Delaware brain damage lawyer, you can focus on your child’s care while pursuing justice against the people who caused your child harm.
How Our Delaware Birth Injury Lawyers Can Support You
We know you’re carrying an enormous emotional burden right now. Our role is to lift the legal weight off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what matters most – your child and your family. Here’s how we can help:
- Investigating your case: We’ll carefully review medical records and consult with experts to understand what happened and if medical malpractice may be the cause of your child’s brain damage.
- Identifying responsible parties: We’ll determine who may be responsible for your child’s injury. Many people may have missed signs, or there may have been institutional malpractice.
