Birth injuries caused by medical negligence — including cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, Erb's palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and other conditions — can have lifelong consequences for a child and their family. These cases are complex, requiring medical experts to establish the standard of care and causation. We have the experience and resources to take on these challenging cases.
Common Birth Injuries from Medical Negligence
Failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-section decisions, improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction, failure to treat maternal infections, and mismanagement of shoulder dystocia are among the most common causes of preventable birth injuries. We retain leading obstetric experts to analyze your case.
Damages in Birth Injury Cases
Birth injury damages can include past and future medical care, specialized education and therapy, adaptive equipment and home modifications, lost earning capacity for the child, and compensation for the child's pain and suffering. These are among the highest-value personal injury cases, and we fight to maximize every element of recovery.
