Your Rights After Kentucky Birth Injuries

When your child suffers a birth injury, it can change the entire course of their life. Even a minor injury can make this early stage of their life very complex and may result in a stay in the NICU in a Kentucky hospital. A significant injury could lead to a disability or a long-term condition, such as cerebral palsy, that can affect their development, educational opportunities, employment opportunities and much more.

Here at Carroll, Turner and King P.S.C., we know exactly how stressful and complex this situation can be for you as a parent. Our attorneys are here to help, relying on decades of combined experience. We are also an award-winning firm – one of our attorneys has been proudly selected for the Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award. Moreover, we have reasonable rates for personal injury cases, and we offer free initial consultations.

Why Do Birth Injuries Happen?

Birth injuries can happen for a multitude of reasons, including negligence or mistakes made by the medical staff at the hospital. For example:

  • A doctor who poorly assists throughout the birth with the use of forceps could cause broken bones and internal injuries.
  • An anesthesiologist who doesn’t properly monitor the mother’s or the child’s vital signs could allow for a dangerous drop in blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels and much more.
  • A doctor who doesn’t take appropriate action during a prolonged delivery could run the risk of cutting off the child’s oxygen supply, which can lead to brain developmental issues, such as cerebral palsy.
  • Some injuries could impact the child’s senses, such as injuries to the child’s eyes, leading to blindness or reduced vision for the rest of their life.

If these things happen, you and your family may deserve substantial compensation. This can address immediate medical bills, but it should also look at long-term costs, such as surgery, medication, in-home care, reduced learning capacity and much more. Each case is unique, but our experienced team can help you navigate this difficult situation.
