Fetal Negligence in Newfoundland – Information for Parents
http://www.chescrosbie.com/ When you are a parent, one of your worst nightmares is that your child will be severely injured. Sadly, fetal negligence does happen and can cause lifelong problems for the child, including cerebral palsy. In this video, medical malpractice lawyer Ches Crosbie talks about fetal negligence in Newfoundland and throughout the country.
Negligence can occur when standards slip and warning signs of fetal distress are ignored or not acted upon fast enough. The result is devastating, as the child suffers from neurological damage or other problems.
Cerebral palsy is one of the conditions that can result from fetal negligence. Cerebral palsy can be so debilitating that it can require 24-hour care. Even if it is not extremely severe, cerebral palsy can still cause many issues for the child as he or she grows into an adult.
The damages for fetal negligence cases can be significant, as the cost of lifetime care is high. For example, wheelchairs, vans, lifts and other equipment may be needed, in addition to the other medical expenses.
For more information or to get answers to your questions about fetal negligence in Newfoundland, contact Ches Crosbie Barristers at 709.579.4000 or 1.888.579.3262.

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
- Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
