Understanding Retinopathy of Prematurity
If you are a parent, relative or friend of someone whose life has been impacted by retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), you may already know some of its dangers and devastating consequences. The questions you have now may involve the causes, treatments and long-term outlook for babies rendered blind or severely sight-impaired by ROP.
An additional concern for many parents is how to cope financially with raising a special needs child. What many parents fail to realize is that medical negligence may have caused their child's vision problems and that compensation may be recovered to alleviate some of the future financial challenges their child will face.
Wherever you are in the United States, you are welcome to contact us about the possibility that medical malpractice played a role in a child's ROP-caused blindness. We care. In addition to assessing your case, we will strive to direct you to the finest support resources available.
