Premature Delivery

A baby is considered to be full-term after 37 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the baby’s lungs, brain and other organs will have been fully developed to handle life outside the womb. When a baby is born prematurely, typically between 26 weeks and 36 weeks of pregnancy, there is an increased risk of medical problems. Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) to the brain is one of the most common consequences of a premature delivery as the baby’s lungs have not yet fully developed.

There are actions that a doctor can take when he or she understands that a premature delivery is necessary or inevitable. Most often a steroid injection will be given to the mother to speed up the baby’s development and make an earlier delivery safer. The hospital can also give a premature baby special care after birth, usually by time and treatment in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).

Birth Injury Lawyers for Premature Delivery Claims

If your child has suffered a brain injury or any kind of birth injury because of a premature delivery, and you suspect that a doctor, nurse or other medical professional may be to blame, you have the right to consult a birth injury attorney about your case. A careful review of your situation and medical records may reveal that a doctor acted in a manner that was unethical or simply careless. With this information, a lawyer will work to prove medical malpractice or negligence in order to seek and recover significant financial compensation for your child’s injuries.

The attorneys at Tracey Law Firm are experienced in helping clients with birth injury claims involving premature delivery. We have the resources and access to medical experts to thoroughly investigate your claim and build an aggressive legal strategy that will help bring the responsible party to justice.
