What Are Common Birth Injuries?

Medical professionals have a legal obligation to uphold an industry-wide standard of care when helping new parents bring their children into the world. Unfortunately, our birth injury lawyers know that inattention and deliberate neglect can compromise a child’s best shot at life. 

Some of the most common birth injuries include:

• Brachial plexus
• Birth-related brain damage
• Bone fractures
• Oxygen deprivation
• Cerebral palsy

Who’s Responsible for Life-Changing Birth Injuries?

Several parties can assume responsibility for a child’s birth injuries. If you want to hold them accountable for your child’s injuries, you need to prove that the care offered to you and your loved ones during labor fell significantly short of the standard expected within the medical industry.

If you can use concrete evidence to prove that a professional breached the standard of care that they owed you, you can argue that individual specialists, medical institutions, OB-GYNs, obstetricians, nurses, and even pharmaceutical companies or medical equipment manufacturers need to take responsibility for your child’s losses.

Our birth injury attorneys in Tucson can help you assign liability by conducting a thorough investigation into your lack of care. We can also connect with third-party medical professionals to assess the severity of your child’s losses and what compensation they and you may have the right to demand.

We Fight for the Financial Support Your Family Needs

You have the right to request a settlement that addresses your family’s economic and non-economic losses after your child suffers an injury during labor.

So long as we have the evidence needed to tie those losses to your lack of care, we can pre-calculate their value and ensure that insurers and other liable parties recognize them in your final settlement.

We’ve helped families include losses like:

• Emergency medical attention
• The cost of labor and child care
• The cost of post-labor medical treatments for the birthing parent and injured child
• Lost wages or workplace benefits
• Emotional distress
• Temporary or permanent disabilities
• Physical and psychological therapy
• At-home assistance for new parents
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful deaths, as applicable
