Cerebral palsy can be caused by negligence during the birthing process
2013-03-15
When a woman delivers a baby, she places trust in the knowledge and skill of her physician.

When a doctor does not follow safety rules designed to protect the health of mother and child during labor and delivery, the doctor may be held responsible under the law for birth injuries to the child.

Lead paint and children do not mix well
2013-03-15
New York City has its share of charming, older homes and apartments.
