Determining the Cause of Developmental Delays
Birth injuries often manifest themselves after the fact. You may not have realized that there was a problem during your pregnancy or during delivery. Perhaps signs of slow infant development started to appear only when you got home from the hospital or even in the months afterward. The signs are now there, but the evidence of the original event may be obscure.
The first thing I do in these cases is investigate to determine whether the developmental delays could have been caused by an obstetrician's error or other doctor's negligence. I will review your prenatal and obstetric record and discuss your child's development with his or her pediatrician. If I can link the cause of your child's irregular development to medical malpractice, I will work hard to hold the negligent parties accountable through a settlement for the negligence, if necessary, in court.
Birth Injuries That Can Lead to Developmental Disabilities
Any error during birth can seriously impact an infant's development, including:
- Failure to diagnose a birth injury
- Failure to diagnose gestational diabetes
- Misdiagnosis
- Brain damage caused by lack of oxygen during birth
- Medication errors
- Delayed decision to perform a C-section
- Failure to recognize changes in fetal condition/detect fetal distress
- Cerebral palsy
