Birth Injury Law Firms

When You Need A Birth Injury Law Firm

You can do everything right to prepare for your healthy newborn, and then things can go wrong. Birth injuries are physical injuries to newborn babies that happen during pregnancy, labor and delivery or shortly after birth. Unfortunately, they are not uncommon. Many of them are preventable and may be the result of negligence or improper procedure by doctors, nurses or midwives. If you suspect this may have happened to your child, a birth injury law firm may be able to help you.

What Birth Injury Law Firms Can Do

Experienced birth injury law firms investigate negligence or improper care by medical providers. This can produce birth injuries such as:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb’s Palsy (also called Brachial Plexus Palsy)
  • Brain swelling or hemorrhaging
  • Skull fractures or other bone damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Brain damage due to lack of oxygen (hypoxia) caused by umbilical cord compression or strangulation

Immediate signs of possible birth injuries may include bruises, abrasions and poor reflexes after delivery. Later signs of a birth injury may be missed developmental milestones, such as crawling, standing up and walking, lack of muscle or neurological coordination, learning challenges or disabilities.

Birth injury law firms can work with families to file a birth injury lawsuit in the event of a preventable birth injury.
