A birth injury is any type of harm or injury that a child suffers right before, during, or after they are born — typically during the labor and delivery process.
Birth injuries are often the result of preventable medical errors caused by a health care professional. This is known as medical malpractice.
While some birth injuries may heal completely, others may require your child to receive lifelong medical care and assistance. In some cases, families may also be left grieving the loss of a child and searching for answers.
“After enduring a traumatic C-section and facing the uncertainty of why our son was stillborn, we turned to Sokolove Law. They helped us navigate the overwhelming legal and medical complexities, offering support during a time of unimaginable grief.” – Connecticut Parent & Firm Client
If you believe your child’s birth injury was caused by medical malpractice, a Connecticut birth injuries attorney may be able to help you hold negligent health care providers accountable for the harm they caused.
Let Sokolove Law Fight for You
Since 1979, Sokolove Law has secured over $1 Billion for families affected by birth injuries.
Birth injuries can often be avoided with proper medical care — but if a medical professional makes a careless mistake during the birthing process, the baby and their family may suffer as a result.
Common medical mistakes that may lead to birth injuries include:
Excessive force during delivery
Failure to properly assess risk factors beforehand
Misdiagnosis or failure to recognize a serious medical condition
Sokolove Law has nurses on staff who can help you understand your child’s injury and whether malpractice or negligence may be to blame.
“We look for red flags, things that might not be what you'd expect as far as the labor or the delivery process. Maybe the labor took a really long time or the pushing stage took longer, or maybe there was both a vacuum and forceps used, which can be concerning.” – Kristin Proctor, Registered Nurse with Sokolove Law
