Seeking Justice and Lifelong Support When Medical Negligence Harms Your Child

The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion. When that joy is overshadowed by a preventable injury caused by a medical professional’s negligence, the devastation is unimaginable.

However, securing justice and the financial resources necessary for their lifelong care is a critical step forward. Our dedicated legal team provides compassionate, yet powerful, representation for families whose lives have been forever changed by a preventable birth injury.

Birth Defect vs. Birth Injury: A Critical Distinction

It is important to understand the difference between these two terms:

- A Birth Defect is a condition that develops before birth, often due to genetic or environmental factors. It is generally not caused by a medical provider’s actions.
- A Birth Injury is damage that occurs to a baby during the labor and delivery process as a direct result of a medical professional’s negligence or a deviation from the accepted standard of care. These injuries are often preventable.

Common Types of Preventable Birth Injuries

Our firm handles complex medical malpractice claims involving a wide range of devastating, and often preventable, birth injuries, including:

Cerebral Palsy:

A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, often caused by brain damage from oxygen deprivation during birth.

Erb’s Palsy / Brachial Plexus Injuries:

Damage to the nerves that control the arm and hand, often caused by excessive pulling or stretching of the baby’s head and neck during a difficult delivery.

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE):

A type of brain damage that occurs when the baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen or blood flow.

Spinal Cord Injuries:

Leading to paralysis and other neurological issues.

Facial Paralysis:

Caused by pressure on the baby’s face during labor or from the improper use of forceps.

Fractures:

Broken bones, most commonly the clavicle (collarbone), due to a difficult or traumatic delivery.

Medical Negligence That Can Lead to a Birth Injury

These tragic injuries are often the result of a medical team’s failure to act appropriately. Examples of negligence include:

- Failure to Monitor and Respond to Fetal Distress: Not recognizing or acting on signs that the baby is in trouble (e.g., changes in heart rate).
- Delay in Ordering a Necessary C-Section: Waiting too long to perform a cesarean section when labor is not progressing or the baby is in distress.
- Improper Use of Forceps or a Vacuum Extractor: Using delivery assistance tools incorrectly, causing trauma to the baby’s head, neck, or shoulders.
- Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication or dosage to the mother during labor (e.g., Pitocin).
- Failure to Manage a High-Risk Pregnancy: Not properly addressing maternal conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes.

The Lifelong Cost of a Birth Injury

A child with a serious birth injury will likely require a lifetime of specialized care. We fight for a comprehensive financial recovery that accounts for all current and future needs, including:

- Lifetime medical treatment, surgeries, and doctor visits.
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
- Special education resources and tutoring.
- Assistive devices and home/vehicle modifications.
- 24/7 in-home nursing care.
- The pain and suffering of both the child and the parents.
