Birth Injuries and Cerebral Palsy - Army Navy Air Force Medical Malpractice Attorneys - Child Injury Lawyers Law Firm
There is almost nothing as serious or as heartbreaking as a child birth injury. Cerebral palsy, brain injury, brachial plexus injury or Erb’s palsy are just some of the many types of birth injuries that occur in military hospitals. The damage usually lasts a lifetime and the cost of care can be astronomical. The emotional and financial stress the entire family experiences is often nearly unbearable.
