The day your child is born is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. However, if you or your child is injured during birth, that day can quickly turn into your worst nightmare. If you believe that you or your baby suffered an injury due to the negligence of a medical provider, a birth injury lawyer may be able to help you.
Birth injuries can leave children with permanent disabilities or in some circumstances, can even cause death. These injuries may be caused by an incorrect medical approach to complications that arise during pregnancy or delivery. Medical providers make mistakes and should be held accountable for their actions.

Determining If You Have a Claim
The first thing a birth injury lawyer will do is evaluate the facts of your case to determine if you have a claim. During this process, it will be important to provide your birth injury lawyer with any documentation you may have. You must be able to prove that a medical care provider’s negligence caused the injury.
Depending on your situation, you may be able to collect damages from the doctor, nurse, or even the hospital. If the hospital did not properly scrutinize your doctor’s credentials, you may have a claim against the hospital for negligent hiring.
A birth injury attorney can help determine who is the best person or entity to seek compensation from.
What Is Your Claim Worth?
A birth injury attorney will assess the severity of the injury to determine how much compensation you may be entitled to.
Birth injuries can cause both emotional and financial strains on your family. Although your child’s injury may be permanent, a birth injury attorney may be able to help secure compensation to assist with:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation costs
- Therapy
- Punitive damages
- Education costs associated with the injury
Not all of these types of damages may be available in every case.
Length of a Birth Injury Case
Birth injury cases usually take longer than a few months to resolve. However, the length of your case will depend on multiple factors, such as:
- The severity of the injuries
- The amount of money in controversy
- How detailed the medical records are
- The amount of witnesses, if any
Keep in mind that not all birth injuries present symptoms right away. This may be the case for cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain during delivery and symptoms are not always apparent right away.
If you suspect that your child is not developing at a normal rate, it may be due to a birth injury.
