There is nothing quite like the excitement of expecting a child. Just as there is excitement, however, there are many fears and worries, fears that all parents hope will never come true. For a New York family who gave birth to their daughter 10 years ago, they are just getting some closure after their fear became reality in the delivery room.
The New York couple’s baby was born and then determined to be suffering from cerebral palsy. Today, at the age of 10, the child can’t walk or feed herself. The picture that her parents had of the life for their child was forever changed when, they argue, medical professionals failed to properly do their jobs upon the baby’s delivery.
According to the plaintiffs’ allegations in the medical malpractice lawsuit, medical workers failed to notice that their baby wasn’t getting oxygen after delivery. The lack of oxygen commonly leads to cerebral palsy or another type of serious brain injury.
