Traumatic Birth Injury

Traumatic birth injuries can result from preventable medical errors during labor and delivery, such as failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed emergency intervention, improper use of delivery tools, or oxygen deprivation. In the most severe cases, these failures can lead to permanent brain damage, lifelong disability, or the tragic loss of a child.

Families affected by catastrophic birth injuries often face overwhelming challenges, including extensive medical treatment, long-term therapy, specialized care needs, and profound emotional trauma. The financial burden can be significant, particularly when a child requires lifelong support or when parents are left seeking answers after an unexpected death. When negligence is involved, medical providers and institutions must be held accountable for the harm caused.

Holding medical providers accountable after a traumatic birth injury is about more than financial recovery. It is about uncovering what went wrong, ensuring families receive honest answers, and protecting others from suffering similar harm. When preventable mistakes are ignored, the consequences can continue to affect families and communities.

By pursuing justice, families can seek compensation that reflects the full scope of their loss, including long term medical care, ongoing support needs, and the profound emotional impact of catastrophic injury or death. Accountability helps bring clarity, closure, and a measure of justice during an incredibly difficult time.
