They’ll work to understand your child’s condition and your family’s losses. Our team will then seek the best possible resolution for your child.

What Is the Goal Outcome For Your Birth Injury Case?
The focus of any birth injury case is the child’s well-being. These cases are always about working to repair your family from the harm the child suffered, first and foremost. We want to secure a financial recovery that will:
- Represent justice for the injured child, who had no ability to protect themselves from harm
- Afford your family high-quality medical treatment and rehabilitation for your child
- Allow your child to receive treatment for as long as they need
Birth injury cases may lead to several losses. Your recovery may reflect your child’s trauma (pain and suffering) as well as your own. You may also receive a financial recovery for any income you lose while caring for your child.
Our firm will create a full record of your family’s losses. Birth injuries are never the fault of the child or their family. The emotional, financial, and physical consequences of a birth injury shouldn’t be yours to shoulder, either.

Our Lawyers Will Show That Medical Negligence Is Never Acceptable
Our experience with birth injury cases has exposed a troubling fact: medical professionals do not always act as they should. Tragically, your family understands this fact more than most.
Medical negligence can cause lifelong harm, especially when injuries occur at birth. Your obstetrician may have failed you by:
- Being generally careless or reckless
- Failing to monitor your child’s heartbeat throughout your delivery
- Failing to identify your child’s distress
- Responding inappropriately, slowly, or not at all to distress
- Failing to recognize and address complications during delivery
- Failing to order a C-section delivery which may have spared your child from injury
- Failing to account for maternal risk factors
- Using excessive force during delivery
- Using delivery devices, like forceps or a vacuum device, in a dangerous manner
Doctors are trained. They have experience. They should expect the unexpected, and know how to respond appropriately. When they don’t, tragic outcomes like birth injuries occur.
How Our Lawyers Work to Demonstrate Medical Negligence
Our firm will aim to demonstrate why your child’s injury happened. The cause of each birth injury is specific. No two birth injuries have the exact same cause.
When negligence causes a birth injury, we aim to demonstrate negligence. In order to show negligence in your child’s case, our team may:
- Work with your child’s doctors: Your child’s pediatrician may have the most insight into your child’s injuries. They may have seen the injuries immediately after they happened, and may help us diagnose the precise cause.
- Obtain medical imaging of your child’s injuries: We will share such images with medical experts, who’ll provide opinions about the cause of the injuries.
- Secure witness accounts: Witnesses may have seen specific actions and failures that caused your child harm.
- Gather all relevant evidence: We collect and organize any evidence of negligence. Such evidence may be the linchpin of your birth injury case.
Any person who harmed your child may be liable. Liability may also extend to the facility where you gave birth.
