Birth Injury Occurs Often Enough to Impact Rising Insurance Premiums Facing Business

Birth Injury Occurs Often Enough to Impact Rising Insurance Premiums Facing Business

By Terry Cochran

For every 1,000 babies born every day at least 27 are victims of birth trauma. Birth injuries occur more often than most people believe and sometimes the injuries occur because of the negligence of doctors, nurses or the hospital.

Mothers have a deep respect for the doctor and nurses who helped bring their baby into the world. Because of this a very sad and tragic result is that often the mother blames herself for the birth injury. She just cannot perceive the doctor might be negligent.

Most doctors, nurses and hospitals are excellent but when malpractice is involved in a birth injury the baby and parents must be adequately compensated. And beyond compensation, it is important that responsibility be appropriately assigned so the mother does not suffer needless emotional stress.

Business managers and entrepeneurs struggling with rising costs are taking a hard look at medical benefits. They need to be aware that the rising occurence of birth injuries does have a significant impact on rising medical costs.

Common birth injuries are cerebral palsy, temporary paralysis, brain damage, a fractured collar bone, seizure disorders, and specific disorders such as Erb's Palsy, Klumpke's Palsy, and Brachial Plexus Palsy.

Other common birth injuries include: bruising and forceps marks; damage to the iris of one or both eyes; swelling of the baby's scalp, usually because of vacuum extraction; bleeding within a bone; damage to the baby's facial nerves; fractured bones, often during breech delivery; brain injury, including seizure disorders and mental impairment.

When a doctor or nurse fails a patient, it’s important to key in on the issues quickly for the benefit of her client. Medical error does cause birth injuries or can increase their severity or permanence. Medical errors include: failing to anticipate birth complications, such as a twisted umbilical cord; failure to respond appropriately to bleeding; failure to respond to fetal distress; delay in ordering a cesarean section when medically necessary; misuse of forceps or a vacuum extractor during delivery; or poor care after the birth.

Birth trauma is an injury to the child during the delivery and a number of problems can occur during the birth of a child. If the doctor or nurse fails to respond quickly, the child can suffer permanent brain injury, Cerebral Palsy, nerve injury or even death.

With a thorough evaluation of your labor and delivery, my law firm's trained experts can pinpoint exactly when and if the birth or brain injury was due to negligence. Then our birth injury attorneys can move forward and come up with a settlement that is fair based on the extent of your child's injury and the emotional damage. Although we can't take away the pain that your child's birth injury caused, we can help relieve your financial burden.

Statutes of limitation limit the length of time you have to file a lawsuit. In the state of Michigan, depending on the nature of your case, the time limits may be from one to 15 years after the incident. Failure to file a lawsuit within that time period may result in justice forever being denied.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
