Preventable birth injuries affect thousands of families annually in the United States, with approximately 28,000 babies born with such injuries each year, equating to one every nine minutes. Sandoval Law Firm, PLLC, under the leadership of attorney Héctor L. Sandoval, is amplifying its efforts to assist Texas families in holding negligent medical providers accountable. The firm emphasizes the importance of understanding legal rights and options, especially given the strict statutes of limitations in Texas for medical malpractice claims.
Many birth injuries, including those caused by OB-GYN and delivery errors, improper use of delivery tools, failure to perform timely C-sections, and negligent hospital policies, are preventable with proper medical care. The financial and emotional toll on families can be overwhelming, with the lifetime cost of care for a child with cerebral palsy potentially exceeding $1 million. Sandoval Law Firm's commitment to justice aims to alleviate some of this burden by ensuring negligent parties are held responsible.
The firm offers free, confidential consultations to families suspecting medical negligence led to their child's birth injury. By providing comprehensive legal support, Sandoval Law Firm enables families to focus on their child's care and recovery, underscoring the critical need for accountability in the medical community to prevent future injuries.
