Why Birth Injury Cases Are Medically & Legally Complex
Birth injury litigation often involves highly technical medical evidence and long-term implications for a child’s future. Certain injuries may not be fully diagnosed until months or years after delivery, making it critical to preserve records and obtain expert review. Proving malpractice requires showing that a healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care.
Our attorneys collaborate with medical professionals, including:
- Obstetric experts.
- Neonatal neurologists.
- Pediatric specialists.
- Life care planners.
Together, we build a strong case to demonstrate negligence, establish liability, and secure compensation for your child’s long-term needs.
Common Birth Injuries We Handle
When medical negligence leads to serious harm, we step in.
Cerebral Palsy

Erb’s Palsy and Brachial Plexus Injuries
Can occur when excessive force or shoulder dystocia causes nerve damage.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
Brain injury caused by lack of oxygen, frequently associated with delayed delivery.
Fractures or Nerve Damage
May result from improper use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors.
Your child deserves care, security & justice for what happened..
Compensation for Birth Injury Cases
