Many birth injuries are caused by medical negligence — a doctor, nurse, or hospital that failed to meet the standard of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. If that happened to your child, you have rights. Here's what families need to understand.
From the moment a birth injury occurs, the hospital's risk management team and their insurance company begin building a defense. Their goal is to minimize liability. Your goal is to understand what happened and protect your child's future.
Critical evidence — fetal monitoring strips, delivery records, nursing notes — must be preserved immediately. Once time passes, evidence can disappear. The sooner you call, the better protected your case is.
In Pennsylvania, birth injury claims generally must be filed within 2 years of discovery — with special rules for minors. Don't assume you have unlimited time. Call us to understand your specific deadline.
Birth injury settlements aren't just about accountability — they fund the therapy, medical care, adaptive equipment, special education, and future support your child may need for the rest of their life.
Conditions We Handle
If your child was diagnosed with any of the following conditions after birth, it may have been caused or worsened by medical negligence. Call us — we evaluate every case for free.
Often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery. One of the most common birth injury diagnoses linked to preventable medical errors.
Nerve damage to the arm caused by improper use of force during delivery. Almost always caused by a preventable delivery room error.
Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation before, during, or shortly after birth. Often linked to delayed C-sections or failure to monitor fetal distress.
Failure to respond to fetal distress signals in time. Can cause permanent brain damage, developmental delays, or death.
When a baby's shoulder becomes lodged during delivery and improper maneuvers cause nerve damage, fractures, or oxygen deprivation.
Improper use of delivery instruments can cause skull fractures, brain bleeding, facial nerve damage, and other serious injuries.
Excessive force during delivery can damage the spinal cord, potentially causing paralysis or permanent neurological impairment.
Brain injuries in newborns caused by trauma, infection, or oxygen deprivation — often traceable to specific failures in hospital care.
Failure to perform a timely cesarean section when fetal distress is detected is one of the most common forms of obstetric negligence in PA.
If your baby died due to birth injuries, your family may have a wrongful death claim. We handle these cases with the utmost care and sensitivity.
What We Recover
Birth injury settlements are designed to cover everything your child will need — for life. We fight for every category of damages available under Pennsylvania law.
All past and future medical treatment including surgeries, hospitalization, specialist care, and medication.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and behavioral therapy for as long as needed.
Costs of specialized schooling, tutoring, learning support, and educational accommodations throughout your child's life.
Compensation for the income your child will be unable to earn as an adult due to their injuries.
Adaptive equipment, wheelchairs, home modifications, and assistive technology your child needs to live fully.
Compensation for your child's pain and suffering, and for the emotional impact the injury has had on your entire family.
How It Works
We know this is an overwhelming time. Here's exactly what to expect — no pressure, no obligation, no confusing legal jargon.
We listen to your story, review what happened during delivery, and give you an honest assessment of your case — completely free.
We obtain and review all medical records, consult with medical experts, and determine exactly what went wrong and who is responsible.
We work with leading medical experts to establish negligence, document your child's needs, and calculate the full value of your claim.
We negotiate with the hospital's insurers — and if they won't pay what your child deserves, we take them to trial. Our fee only comes from a recovery.
