Portland Birth Injury Litigation Attorneys
Birth injuries can occur as a result of a difficult delivery, or they can occur during a normal delivery. Some injuries suffered during birth only last a short while, and then there are others with permanent implications, thus having consequences that affect the child and his or her family members for the duration of their lives.
The severity of the effects caused by a birth injury varies from person to person. Often, medical professionals are responsible for birth injuries due to actions taken or not taken in the delivery room, operating room or emergency room.
