Developmental Delays Attorney

Nationwide Representation in Medical Malpractice Claims

The Law Offices of Dr. Bruce G. Fagel & Associates assists families with birth injury claims throughout the United States. Developmental delays are a common symptom of many birth injuries and can be one of the first signs that something may be wrong with your child. Developmental delays may be indicative of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, or any other birth injury involving a lack of oxygen to the brain during labor or delivery.

If your child is showing signs of delays in walking, talking, sitting up, rolling over, etc., it may be an indication that your child was the victim of medical malpractice or negligence. It is important to seek medical care and further testing to determine your child's exact disability and to then discuss your legal options with an experienced attorney. A birth injury lawyer at our firm can meet with you during a free case evaluation to review your situation and determine how we can help.

What are Developmental Delays?

When a child suffers serious injury at birth or very early in life, it may result in significant delays in certain milestones that occur in normal development, including walking, talking, and more. A complicated delivery, a delayed c-section, a very large infant and a variety of other serious problems may cause injury to a baby’s brain and result in developmental delays. At times, however, a child may reach a milestone and then regress. In these cases, it is more likely that a metabolic disorder is to blame.
