Spinal Cord Birth Injury Resulting in Paralyzation
Complications are often encountered during a delivery. How a doctor, hospital and medical staff react to these complications can impact the long-term health of the child. In rare occurrences, a medical malpractice during birth may cause a spinal cord trauma for the child, resulting in life-long paralysis and other injuries.
