Birth injuries from medical negligence can affect a child for life. When doctors, nurses, or hospitals fail to recognize fetal distress, delay a C-section, or mishandle delivery, the consequences can be devastating. Families deserve accountability and the resources to care for their child.

Birth injuries range from minor bruising to catastrophic brain damage. The most serious injuries — cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and brachial plexus injuries — often result from preventable errors during labor and delivery. Recognizing the signs of fetal distress and acting promptly can prevent permanent injury.
Common causes of preventable birth injuries include: failure to recognize and respond to fetal distress, delayed C-section, improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors, failure to manage shoulder dystocia, and inadequate neonatal resuscitation. Each of these may constitute medical negligence.
Birth injury cases require significant resources because they involve complex medical evidence and the projection of lifetime care costs. Our network attorneys work with obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatric neurologists, and life care planners to build comprehensive damage models.
