Birth Trauma Law Firm
Forceps are medical instruments used to facilitate the delivery of a child. Forceps resemble tongs and are placed on the child's head in an attempt to remove the child from the birth canal. Due to the risks involved in a forceps delivery, forceps are used sparingly in labor and delivery today. The use of forceps exposes the child to a number of risks. Babies born via forceps can suffer skull fractures, cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and other severe injuries. In many deliveries aided by forceps, the child and mother would have been better off if the doctor had performed a C-section.
If you believe that your child was injured in birth due to the misapplication of forceps, an experienced malpractice lawyer can help you get answers to your questions. A lawyer can also help your child get the money he or she will need for a lifetime of care.
