Waco Brain and Spinal Damage Lawyers
The prospect of your child suffering an injury during birth is something that may have kept you up at night during pregnancy. But the fear of a devastating outcome is far different from having to contend with the reality of doctors and nurses who fail to properly carry out their responsibilities of caring for your newborn. Inattention to warning signs during late pregnancy and labor – as well as deficient care in the delivery room – can have lasting implications for your child’s health, and brain and spinal damage are among the most traumatic issues that may arise.
If your child has been the victim of a negligent physician, surgeon, or delivery nurse, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation to address the extensive medical costs that are incurred as a result. Contact the Waco brain and spinal damage lawyers at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.
Effects of Brain and Spinal Damage
Brain and spinal damage is especially devastating because of the significant role that the brain, spine, and spinal cord have in regulating virtually every aspect of motion, sensation, and cognition. Head injuries sustained by an adult are problematic enough, but for a newborn they are more dangerous because they interfere with the development of vital systems and functions. Moreover, the spinal cord and brain do not have the same capacity to heal that other parts of the body possess, so the harm suffered is likely irreversible.
Some consequences of brain and spinal injuries include:
- Partial or total paralysis
- Impairment of motor and speech skill development
- Compromised respiratory function
- Complication of cognitive functioning
- Death
