What caused my child's developmental delay?

Developmental delay strikes many children in Michigan. Children who develop slowly often have trouble performing in school, maintaining a normal social life, enjoying everyday activities like riding a bike or playing sports, and most of all, performing activities of daily life.

If your child has been struggling with a developmental delay, which affects the way your entire family operates, then you likely have one question running through your head above all else:

• What (or who) caused my child's developmental delay?

It is important to know that your child's developmental delay or learning disability could have been caused by the negligent actions of doctors or nurses involved in the delivery. Some of the mistakes that they could have made may include:

• Failure to timely perform a C-section;
• Delay in ensuring oxygen flow;
• Misuse of delivery tools;
• Failure to prevent premature birth.

If your child has been diagnosed with a Michigan birth injury that you think was caused by the negligence of medical professionals, you may be eligible to recover damages. This financial compensation could cover your medical bills, ongoing care or therapy, permanent losses, and even pain or emotional suffering.
