Warning Signs of Potential Birth Injuries

If the birth of your child was accompanied by a particularly long labor and delivery process, a breech position, excessive bleeding, infection, problems with the umbilical cord or placenta, or excessive weight or water gain, it is possible that these warning signs were not properly handled by your medical professionals, thus leading to your child’s birth injuries. In this case, you should seek the assistance of a birth injuries attorney at McMahon, McMahon & Lentz for a thorough evaluation of any claim that you may have.
