Seeking Compensation for Injuries to Newborn Children
The first few days, weeks and months of a child's life are a critical time for that child's development. Pediatricians and neonatal care specialists have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to avoid complications and safeguard the health of newborns in their care.
Unfortunately, there are cases in which these professionals provide negligent care, often causing irreversible harm. At The Kauffman Firm, our Albuquerque pediatric malpractice attorneys help parents in New Mexico and nationwide hold negligent pediatricians accountable.
Helping Parents Understand the Causes of Their Children's Injuries
Infants have different body chemistries, vulnerabilities and disease symptoms than those seen in older children and adults. Pediatricians are highly trained to provide care that is appropriate to the specific needs of infants and to recognize when their patients are ill and need treatment.
Pediatricians who fail to meet the standards of their profession can be held legally liable for the consequences. Our firm helps parents pursue medical malpractice claims on behalf of their children for all types of neonatal injuries, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Neonatal hypoglycemia
- Cerebral palsy
- Meningitis
- Pneumonia
- Dehydration
Attorney Gregory Kauffman — a triple board-certified, practice-experienced medical doctor — can draw on his medical experience to evaluate your case and determine whether malpractice may have occurred. If so, our firm is prepared to diligently pursue the results your child deserves.
