Philadelphia Birth Injury Lawyers
Childbirth can be a painful and difficult experience even in ideal circumstances. Parents choose to go through it because they know at the end they will be able to enjoy their reward: a healthy new addition to the family. Unfortunately, the story is not always this simple or ideal. For some families, childbirth is only the beginning of a long string of medical issues.
A newborn’s medical problems can be caused by many factors, from genetics to the mother’s condition during pregnancy. Sometimes it is caused by a simple and wholly avoidable mistake on the part of the doctor or OBGYN staff. When this occurs, Philadelphia birth injury attorneys Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., work hard to hold the negligent parties responsible.
