Our Birth Injury Team created this website for parents and families dealing with a child suffering from a birth injury or birth defect. We understand that many people know very little about their child's condition, its causes and where to turn for help.
Learn More About Our Team
Estimates are that birth injuries occur in five to seven out of every 1,000 births. Signs and symptoms of a birth injury vary according to the type and severity of the condition.
Common Birth Injuries
Certain pregnancies are at a greater risk for birth injuries and defects. Understanding these risks can be instrumental in preventing a birth trauma, or if you already had the baby, understanding why your child suffered an injury during the birthing process.
What Causes Birth Injuries
Did a doctor and nurse look worried when the baby was born? Was your child rushed away after the delivery? If you believe medical negligence or misconduct resulted in your child's birth injury, it is time to consider taking legal action.
Who Is Liable?
