Thank you for your inquiry. Premature infants may suffer from hemorrhages secondary to their prematurity. However, if the premature birth could have been prevented, and/or if the bleeding was due to some negligent care or not managed correctly resulting in a brain injury, it is possible that a claim might be pursued. This firm has handled voluminous claims surrounding shortcomings in prenatal care, labor and delivery and post-birth care resulting in brain injury. Please feel free to call me or one of my partners to discuss your potential claim. (973)635-5400
