No parent wants to think about his or her baby suffering, especially not during or immediately after birth. Unfortunately, however, birth injuries affect thousands of babies and their parents annually in the U.S. Even worse, many of these injuries are actually the result of an error on the part of a medical practitioner or an unsafe drug. Whether a doctor or other medical professional acted carelessly while treating or delivering a baby or a drug manufacturer creates an unsafe medication, these actions can result in a baby paying the price. Sadly, as we at Patino Law Firm know, this can cause immense difficulty and suffering for a family in McAllen. Learn what to look out for and what to do if your family has suffered injuries from birth from our experienced McAllen birth injury lawyers.
