COMMON CAUSES OF BIRTH INJURIES
Birth injuries can happen before, during or shortly after a child is born. They are more likely to occur when certain factors come into play, such as:
- A failure to identify, monitor or act on fetal distress
- A failure to plan for an emergency C-section
- The use of excessive force during a delivery
- The misuse of instruments during a delivery
- Lack of blood or oxygen to the brain
- Exposure to bacteria
- Respiratory distress
- Placenta previa
When the negligence of a medical professional leads to a birth injury, our attorneys help you get the compensation you deserve.

SEEKING PROMPT TREATMENT
While some birth injuries heal naturally over time, it is critical you monitor your child’s health to ensure they receive the medical attention they need. Surgeries to repair nerve damage are more effective when a baby is still an infant, and early physical therapy helps weakened muscles develop before unnecessary strain is placed on healthier limbs. Our lawyers work with you and trusted doctors to diagnose your child’s condition and get appropriate care.
