Brain Injuries to a Newborn During Birth: Lack of Oxygen Lawyer in Oregon

 

One of the most severe causes of personal injuries to an infant is to the brain.  An infant’s brain is rapidly developing.  This is because an infant is quickly growing neuron connections, vital structures, and other important brain tissue.  This period of rapid development is essential for property growth.  It is also a high resource demanding part of a newborn’s development.  This means that infants during this time need a lot of oxygen and nutrients.  These vital sources are sent through blood flow.  However, there are some birth complications which could create a lack of oxygen due to decreased blood flow.  Whenever this happens, it is important to always have a lack of oxygen lawyer in Oregon review your claim.

 

This is because not all complications are created equal.  Some birth injury complications are actually due to Oregon medical malpractice, including catastrophic birth injuries.  These birth injuries due to reckless, careless, or negligent actions or inactions of a healthcare provider could be catastrophic and even deadly.  Victims and families should know that they may be entitled to compensation for their losses.  This is why a lack of oxygen lawyer in Oregon is needed to help protect your rights and your family’s rights—especially the rights of your innocent newborn.
