The most serious birth injuries are those that affect the brain. These injuries may lead to to long-term seizure disorders, or cause cerebral palsy or mental retardation.

Our attorneys have decades of combined experience handling personal injury cases exclusively. They can help recover fair compensation for your losses.
Causes of Birth Brain Injuries
Birth brain injuries may result from oxygen deprivation, a compressed skull or other complications during the birthing process. If your child's brain damage is the direct result of physician or nurse negligence, you have the right to file a claim.
Examples of medical malpractice during the birthing process include:
- Improper use of forceps, vacuums or other delivery aides
- Failure to recognize and respond to signs of fetal stress
- Failure to order an emergency c-section when appropriate
- Failure to recognize labor and delivery complications that can lead to brain injuries

Using our knowledge of how insurance companies determine compensation, we will gather the evidence necessary to obtain full financial damages.
