Birth Trauma
Kentucky Birth Injury Lawyers
A birth injury caused by a medical error can dramatically alter a child’s life, but the effects may not be immediately evident. While the effects of a birth injury may be discovered when a child is newborn, other times those effects are not realized until adolescence. Unlike many other types of lawsuits, you may have additional time to bring a birth injury claim if your child has not yet turned 19, but you should always consult a lawyer as soon as possible after the injury is known when a medical mistake is suspected as the cause.
