While adapting to your child’s new diagnosis and lifestyle will take both time and care, we hope the information throughout this section will serve as a preliminary support system.
Throughout this section you’ll find videos of Andrea Shea, our registered in-house labor and delivery nurse, explaining some important things to know about birth injury. We hope to provide accessible explanations of various topics including birth injuries, the causes of birth injuries, medical malpractice litigation, how to adjust to a birth injury diagnosis, and how to pursue help for an injury.
