Can birth injuries be prevented?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Many birth injuries can be prevented. And it goes directly to the level of care that's provided by our physicians and our hospitals, Many times doctors, or people that are in charge of the pre-natal care, for a mother who's expecting a child don't do what they're supposed to do. They don't monitor the mother's blood sugar. They don't determine whether she's diabetic and going to have a large baby that won't fit through the birth canal. These are very important things that have to be done. If a baby's too large and can't fit through the birth canal and a cesarean section is not performed, it's a formula for disaster. And many times will end up with trauma to the child, it can cause death, cerebral palsy, brain damage. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.
