With over 40 years of experience handling birth injury cases, our dedicated team has helped numerous families secure the compensation needed for medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery when medical professionals fail to meet the established standard of care. These injuries can lead to lifelong challenges for both the child and family, often requiring extensive medical treatment and ongoing care.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various injuries, including:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting movement and muscle coordination, often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves, typically resulting from excessive force during delivery, affecting arm movement and sensation.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, potentially leading to developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery, potentially causing nerve damage or fractures.

According to recent research published in the Journal of Perinatal Medicine, approximately 7 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury. Many of these injuries are preventable with proper medical care and monitoring.
