Jaundice is a common condition in newborns. Often it will resolve on its own or with minimal intervention from medical providers. In more serious cases phototherapy or transfusions are used to reduce bilirubin levels.

If a medical provider fails to identify, monitor and effectively treat jaundice, it can cause serious injury or death. Medical malpractice occurs when the standards of care are breached by a medical provider due to negligence and a patient suffers harm.

If your child was harmed due to untreated or mismanaged jaundice, a birth injury lawyer can review your case. Contact us for a free consultation. Our services are available with no upfront fees, on a contingency fee basis.
