Birth Injury

The birth of a child should be one of life’s most joyful moments. But when preventable medical errors occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or neonatal care, the outcome can be devastating. 

 

We understand the profound emotional and financial toll such injuries have on an entire family. You deserve to know what happened, why it happened, and how to protect your child’s future

​

​Types of Birth Injury Cases We Handle

​

We have extensive experience with claims involving:

 

  • Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) – brain injury from oxygen deprivation before, during, or after delivery

  • Cerebral Palsy – often linked to preventable oxygen loss or trauma at birth

  • Shoulder Dystocia & Brachial Plexus Injury – nerve damage from excessive force or improper delivery techniques

  • Delayed C-Section – failing to respond promptly to fetal distress or other delivery emergencies

  • Uterine Rupture & Placental Abruption – failure to recognize and treat life-threatening maternal conditions

  • Untreated Maternal Infections – including Group B strep, chorioamnionitis, and other conditions that harm newborns

  • Kernicterus – severe brain damage from untreated jaundice in the newborn period

​

The Stakes

 

A birth injury can mean a lifetime of specialized medical care, therapy, assistive technology, and educational support. We work closely with experts to predict what kind of compensation is required to cover not only past and current needs, but also the cost of lifelong care, loss of earning capacity, and the emotional toll on the entire family.

​

​The Best Experts

 

Birth injury cases are among the most complex medical malpractice cases. We work with top experts, from maternal-fetal medicine specialists to neonatologists, placental pathologists, pediatric neurologists, neuropsychologists, and life-care planners. We get to the bottom of what went wrong, how it could have been prevented, and what it will cost to right the wrong.
