Charleston Postnatal Infections Lawyers

As difficult and dangerous as a newborn’s entry into the world is already, birth injuries of any kind introduce an unnecessary additional threat to your baby boy or girl’s health. The doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff therefore must exercise the utmost standard of care before, during, and after birth. This includes the maintenance of surgical tools and the physical handling of the child right on down to the cleaning and care of the facility itself. Born with virtually no immune system, newborns are particularly susceptible to infection and do not have the ability to fight them.

If your son or daughter became ill because of a negligent medical professional or facility, then you may be able to pursue a legal action for financial compensation to address the cost of additional care and other damages. Contact the Charleston postnatal infections lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800 to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you to ensure that justice is served.

Potential Infections

Hospitals are notorious hotbeds of infection for even the heartiest of adults, so the microbiologic danger that exists for your newborn is incredibly heightened. The collection of the sickest people under the same roof is certainly a large factor, but proper cleaning can dramatically reduce the risk of infection. When the best standards and practices are not followed then your child may suffer from the following kinds of infection:

• Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
• Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
• Group B Streptococcus
• Sepsis
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
