Compassionate Legal Representation For Defenseless Infants In NYC And Throughout NY
As the birth injury attorneys of the New York City law firm of Proner & Proner have witnessed all too many times, birth injuries not only compromise the life and health of innocent children but also create emotional, psychological, and financial turmoil for the affected families. Tragically, many birth injuries could have been avoided. Delivery room personnel are generally able to identify and respond to potential complications in the birth process in a timely manner. However, when instances of medical malpractice involving obstetrical errors do occur, the results are too often devastating.

What Is Medical Malpractice?
In order to show that an injury is the result of medical malpractice, there are three things that must be proven:
- It must be shown that the injury or death was a result of a breach of the accepted standard of care. That is, it must be proven that a doctor or health care professional made a mistake that would not be expected from a competent practitioner.
- The mistake made by the health care practitioner must be proven to be the definitive cause of injury or death. Most often, medical malpractice occurs when a patient is being treated for an existing illness. It must be proven that the care provided by the health care professional is the cause of the present injury, not the existing illness or some other factor.
- There must be demonstrable damages caused directly by the injury. Damages from medical malpractice may take the form of pain and suffering, increased medical bills, lost wages or benefits, or the loss of a loved one in the case of wrongful death.
