Advocating for Families After Birth Injury
The birth of a child should be a time of joy. When preventable medical mistakes during pregnancy or delivery cause a birth injury, families are left facing unexpected emotional and financial challenges.
The Med Law represents families affected by medical negligence, helping them pursue accountability and long-term security.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is harm to a baby caused by medical errors before, during, or shortly after birth.
Common birth injuries include:
Cerebral Palsy
A condition that affects a child’s movement, balance, and muscle control due to brain injury at birth.
Erb’s Palsy & Brachial Plexus Injuries
Nerve damage to the shoulder or arm, often caused by excessive force during delivery.
Brain Damage Due to Oxygen Deprivation
Occurs when a baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen before or during birth, leading to lifelong impairments.
Fractures or Nerve Damage
Broken bones or injured nerves resulting from improper handling or excessive pressure during delivery.
Signs That Medical Negligence May Have Occurred
Not every birth injury is unavoidable. Medical negligence may be involved when healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care.
Possible warning signs include:
Failure to monitor fetal distress
Delayed C-section when medically necessary
Improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction
Medication errors during labor
Failure to address infections or maternal complications

About Birth Injury Claims
What compensation can I recover?
Compensation may include medical expenses, ongoing therapy, specialized care, assistive devices, lost future income, and pain and suffering to support your child’s long-term needs.
How long do I have to file a birth injury claim?
Time limits vary by state and case details, so it’s important to act quickly to protect your legal rights and preserve evidence.

No. Our legal team investigates the case, reviews records, and works with medical experts to determine if negligence occurred.
What if the injury is diagnosed later?
Some birth injuries are not immediately apparent, and claims may still be possible depending on when the injury was discovered.
Who can be held responsible for a birth injury?
Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers may be held accountable if their actions or inactions caused harm.
How long does a birth injury case take?
Each case is different, but birth injury claims can take time due to medical complexity and expert involvement.

Many cases settle, but we prepare every case for trial to ensure strong leverage and effective representation if court is necessary.
