A brain injury at birth is a devastating event that is often the result of a hospital or doctors’ medical malpractice before, during or after the birth. Most concerning is that the severity of these brain injuries cause damages to infants that are permanent and life altering. Sometimes, the brain injury is not immediately noticeable until several years later when the child fails to develop normally compared to other children the same age. Other times, the baby shows rapid digression in his or her health. We expect medical physicians, including doctors, nurses, midwives and other hospital personnel to take every precaution possible in ensuring the safety of our children. Unfortunately, as attorneys we are continuously witnessing errors during the birthing process that contribute to avoidable brain injuries to children. Brain injury at birth can be caused by:
Unsuccessful recognition of any fetal distress, including the umbilical cord wrapping around the baby’s neck. This limits the amount of oxygen or blood flow to the baby’s brain resulting in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or HIE.

Unfortunately, hospitals and medical professionals have become adept at deflecting the blame for brain injuries during the birthing process. They often rely on Apgar scores, which is a rating system for delivery. They argue that they were not negligent in the birthing process, or that the baby was genetically predisposed to have a brain injury. However, our attorneys understand how to combat these defenses and maximize baby injury claims.

If the injury was avoidable, contact our medical malpractice attorney in order to make sure the baby receives full compensation for the rest of his or her life.
Parents should look out for certain variables in order to determine if the baby has suffered damage. It might not be automatically apparent that an infant has suffered any harm at all. Therefore, parents should be on the look out for:
