The Impact of Jaundice on Newborns
You may be aware that excessive alcohol use can result in jaundice in adults, but unless you saw it in your own baby, you probably do not know that this condition can also affect newborns. In fact, 60% of newborns in the U.S. develop jaundice in the first few days after birth. While jaundice is not a critical condition on its own, there are potential complications that can cause life-changing disabilities to the newborn if a doctor does not take them seriously.
Why You Should Pursue All Forms of Compensation After a Construction Accident
Construction is dangerous – especially in New York City. Almost every day, workers suffer catastrophic injuries through no fault of their own. Following a spinal cord injury or blow to the head, you may need extensive medical care to move on with your life, which will cost a pretty penny. During this time, you may lose out on work or have to change careers, and suffer a huge drop in income.

Compensation in Birth Injury Cases
It is not possible to put a dollar sign on your child’s injuries, especially if they could have been prevented. When an act of medical negligence causes a birth injury, as a parent, you are completely justified in feeling angry, scared, and hurt. On top of the emotional pain, you are likely worried about the financial costs of your child’s injuries. Even if a doctor can repair the damage and your child can grow up healthy with no other issues, the high costs of this treatment may weigh heavily upon you.
How to Retrieve Your Medical Records During a Claim
When you’re filing a personal injury claim, it is important to keep track of all your medical records, test results, treatments, and appointments due to the accident. This evidence of your injuries supports your claim and shows that you suffered due to the negligent party’s actions. These records also can demonstrate the overall costs of your injuries by outlining your individual medical expenses.
