Was Your Child’s Birth Injury Preventable?
If your child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, HIE, or another birth injury, and something about the delivery doesn’t sit right, that feeling matters. We look closely at what happened and tell you exactly what legal options your family may have to get answers and protect your family’s future.
Common Conditions That Can Result From a Birth Injury
When something goes wrong during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, it can leave a baby or mother living with lasting harm. These are some of the diagnoses we see most often — if one of them is part of your family’s story, it’s worth a conversation.
Cerebral Palsy
A movement or muscle-tone condition often linked to oxygen loss or trauma around the time of birth.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
Brain damage that can occur when a baby is deprived of oxygen during labor or delivery.
Erb’s Palsy / Brachial Plexus Injuries
Weakness or loss of movement in an arm after the shoulder is injured during a difficult delivery.
Delivery Fractures
Broken bones — often a collarbone or arm — that can happen when a delivery isn’t handled with enough care.
Seizure Disorders
Recurring seizures that can develop after a brain injury or oxygen loss around the time of birth.
Wrongful Death
The heartbreaking loss of a baby or mother that never should have happened. We are so sorry.
Mistakes That Cause Birth Injuries
Most births go beautifully. But sometimes the people you trusted make a mistake they shouldn’t have — and a moment that should have been joyful changes everything. These are some of the ways it happens:
- The fetal heart monitor showed distress. The baby’s heart rate dropped or spiked and no one acted in time.
- The C-section came too late. When minutes mattered, the decision was delayed.
- Too much force was used. Forceps, vacuum, or delivery maneuvers caused an avoidable injury.
- Medication was mishandled. The wrong drug or the wrong dose during pregnancy or labor.
- An infection went untreated. Signs of infection in mother or baby were missed or dismissed.
- A high-risk pregnancy wasn’t watched closely enough. Preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, a breech baby. Known risks that demanded extra attention and didn’t get it.
These Families Started With a Question
They had a feeling something went wrong. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth a conversation.
Delayed Intervention
Noah · Macon, GA
Noah was delivered at 40 weeks after fetal distress and a declining heart rate were not addressed in time. The delay caused oxygen deprivation and resulted in a hypoxic brain injury.
Failure to Act Quickly
Lila · Knoxville, TN
Lila was delivered at full term after abnormal fetal heart rate changes were not treated as an obstetric emergency. The delay resulted in oxygen deprivation and permanent neurologic injury.
Ignored Warning Signs
Micah · Richmond, VA
Micah was born after signs of preterm labor were not properly evaluated or treated. He was delivered prematurely and required NICU care for complications related to the early birth.

What Families Usually Want to Know
How do I know if I even have a case?
You don’t have to know — that’s our job. If your delivery didn’t go the way it should have, tell us what happened and we’ll look closely. There’s no pressure to move forward.
What if my child’s condition wasn’t diagnosed right away?
That’s very common. Some birth injuries aren’t recognized until months or even years later, when milestones start to slip. A later diagnosis doesn’t mean it’s too late to ask what happened.
What information do I need to have ready?
Whatever you already have is enough to start. Your memory of what happened matters just as much as paperwork — you can come with nothing but your story.
What happens to my baby’s medical records?
They stay private and secure. Any records you share are used only to understand what happened in your case, and never shared with anyone else without your permission.
Will this cause problems for the nurses or doctors who cared for us?
Your goal isn’t to punish anyone — it’s to get your family the support it needs. These claims are handled through the hospital’s insurance, and asking questions doesn’t make you ungrateful for the people who cared for you.
Is there a deadline to act?
Yes — there are time limits on birth injury cases, and they can be shorter than people expect. The sooner you reach out, the more we can do. A quick conversation now costs you nothing and protects your options.
