Indianapolis External Injuries Attorneys
Despite numerous advances in medical technology, birth injuries continue to affect tens of thousands of children each and every year. While some birth injuries are unavoidable, many are caused by the negligent or careless actions of medical personnel. Examples of these include:
- Misuse of forceps in delivery
- Misuse of vacuum delivery method
- Incorrect handling of an unusually long surgery
- Lack of care when handling a newborn
When any of the above take place, a child is in danger of receiving external injuries. External injuries run the gamut from mild to severe in nature, some with the potential to cause life-long pain and suffering.
If your child has experienced a physical injury caused by careless medical workers, you deserve to be compensated for your child’s pain and suffering. For the representation you need for your birth injury lawsuit, contact the Indianapolis birth injury lawyers of Hankey Marks & Crider today at (317) 634-8565.
Paying for Your Child’s Injuries
External birth injuries can take many forms. Some of the most common examples include:
- Bruising (especially bruising of the face and / or head)
- Swelling of the scalp
- Bleeding of the head / scalp
- Scarring
- Marks left by forceps or a vacuum
While some of these injuries are minor enough to heal on their own, other will require further medical attention and treatment. Prolonged medical treatment is costly and if your child’s injuries were caused by a negligent medical professional, you should not be responsible for covering extended treatment costs.
The Indianapolis external injury lawyers of Hankey Marks & Crider will do everything we can to help you receive compensation for your child’s injuries.
