The injury-only law firm of Basch Keegan & Spada represents victims of medical malpractice in Kingston, NY and throughout the Hudson Valley — including cases involving tragic birth injuries and birth complications.
The birth of a child should be a joyous event that marks a new chapter in a family’s life. But for some, injuries occurring during labor and delivery compromise this happy time. In the most serious cases, birth complications can lead to lifelong problems and even death.
Not all cerebral palsy is caused by a birth injury, but it is the most common serious birth injury. This neurologic disability affects muscle tone, body movement, and posture. Symptoms to watch for in a baby include developmental delays in physical milestones, floppy or stiff body parts, and abnormal posture. Another symptom is favoring the more functional side of their body for reaching, crawling, or other activity. These signs typically appear in the first few months of your child’s life, but it is common for children not to be diagnosed until they are over two years old.
There are some special considerations in the state of New York that can extend the deadline to file a suit for birth injury up to ten years. Typically, you will have two and a half years after the day of the medical provider’s negligence.
At Basch Keegan & Spada, our legal team understands how devastating a birth injury can be to a family — emotionally and financially. We dedicate our practice to helping you get the compensation you deserve following an incident of medical negligence, and provide the support and guidance you need during this difficult time.
