Protect your most Cherished Asset: Your Child

A new-born baby is usually a most joyous moment in our lives. Events of this nature usually change the scope and level of the family relationship, bringing the mother and father together into a very complex physical and emotional bond that is unprecedented. Responsibilities change as the focus of goals and achievement are direct toward that child’s future. And as day after day passes by, memories of that child’s growth sustains them until it is no longer a baby.

Sometimes, however, there are moments in which the prospects for the future are not looking well at all. We are faced with challenges that must be overcome if we are to eventually reach the above-described future. One of the most difficult challenges to go through is a childbirth complication.

About 7 in 1000 babies are born with injury at birth. While this accounts for nearly 1% of births, any number beyond zero leaves room for concern. Not only are these children innocent and precious, they represent the future of our bloodline and the continuation of the family name.

Sometimes doctors find themselves in a routine, treating patients as though they are cogs in a large machine. This can result in detrimental effects due to negligence. For example, doctors can put too much force onto the baby’s fragile head during childbirth, causing serious long-term, permanent injuries. In other cases, neonatal infection can threaten the child’s life or asphyxia can cut off its air supply.

All of these occurrences can and should be prevented. When this is not the case, it is important to know that you have rights, and with these rights you are entitled to take action.
