3 Ways to Protect Your Rights After a New York Labor Induction Birth Injury

If you or your child has been hurt during a New York or New Jersey labor induction, then the physical and emotional harm may have already been done, but that doesn't mean that the fight is over or that you are left without options.

As a New York birth injury lawyer, I want to share with you three tips for protecting your rights after a labor induction injury.

First, seek a prompt medical diagnosis and treatment for any injuries that you, or your baby, incurred as a result of your induced labor.

Second, record your memory of what happened during labor. Write down, or make an audio or video recording, of what happened, how you were induced, how you were monitored, who treated you, how often nurses came by, how long it was before you delivered, etc. You may also request your medical records and note any differences between your records and your memory of what happened.

Third, call a New York birth injury attorney at 1-800-PAGAN-911 to discuss your options and your potential recovery. Your New York labor injury lawyer will work hard to help you recover damages for medical expenses, lost income, out-of-pocket expenses and pain and suffering that resulted from your labor induction.
