The birth of your child should be a special milestone in your life, but the moment can quickly become devastating if something goes wrong and the life that you dreamed of for your child is suddenly unrealistic.
In the United States, it is estimated that out of every 1,000 births, 6 to 8 infants suffer from an injury during labor and delivery. Not all birth injuries are catastrophic or permanent, but when severe birth injuries do occur, the lasting impacts they can have on a child and the child’s family can be overwhelming.
If your child was injured or passed away during childbirth, call Zinda Law Group at (800) 863-5312 for a free consultation with an experienced birth injury lawyer in Denver.
Birth Injuries in Denver, Colorado
Not all birth injuries are the result of medical malpractice, but unfortunately, many devastating birth injuries are caused by the negligent actions of a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider. Some of the more serious birth injuries that can occur due to improper or inadequate management of labor and delivery or care of a newborn include:
- Serious infections or sepsis
- Brain damage
- Paraplegia or quadriplegia
- Coma
- Paralysis
- Neurocognitive disorders
- Learning disabilities, developmental delays, language and speech problems, and mental retardation
- Cerebral Palsy
- Blindness or deafness
- Amputation
- Epilepsy and seizure disorders
- Should dystocia injuries
- Nerve damage
- Death
The above list is not meant to be exhaustive, as there are many other injuries or disorders that can be caused by another’s negligent actions.
If you’re a parent and the birth of your child has resulted in one or more catastrophic injuries, you likely have questions:
- Did the injury simply occur because of bad luck, or was it caused by the negligent actions of a doctor, anesthesiologist, nurse, another medical provider, or the hospital?
- Could the injury have been avoided?
If you believe your child has been the victim of a birth injury that was the result of someone else’s negligence, contact an experienced Denver birth injury lawyer right away to discuss your case.

Raising a healthy child can be expensive, but when your child suffers a catastrophic birth injury, those expenses can increase dramatically due to medical care, ongoing therapy or treatment, assistive equipment, or vehicle or home modifications. However, if the injury was due to the negligent actions of another, you might be entitled to receive compensation for certain expenses, including:
- Long-term or ongoing medical care and therapy
- Any income your child might have anticipated
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental and physical suffering
- Loss of the expected relationship with your child
Birth injury cases can be extremely complex, especially if more than one individual might be responsible for the injury. Birth injury cases are also some of the most expensive types of cases to take to trial, as medical malpractice insurers try to avoid responsibility for the sometimes millions of dollars of expenses. Moreover, some birth injury cases require extensive investigation and top-notch experts, which can also be costly.
In addition to having extensive legal and medical knowledge, your malpractice lawyer should also have the financial resources necessary to investigate your claim and hire the right experts to work on your birth injury case.
