Birth injuries are those that occur during the labor and delivery process. Not every case involving complications during labor and delivery gives you the right to pursue compensation for malpractice, however. Analyzing and evaluating the actions taken by the doctors and nurses on your team is the key to determining whether a birth injury was caused by medical negligence.
Examples of birth injuries often caused by negligence include:
In many cases, these types of injuries are caused by oxygen deprivation or the use of excessive force during labor and delivery. Failure to properly monitor the mother and fetus during the labor and delivery process can also amount to medical negligence.

We are here to put our expertise to work for you to discover what happened and identify all potential options for protecting your rights.
Birth injury cases are often unique because a fair compensation award must account for the impact of the injury on your child’s entire life. If the injury is expected to be permanent, this means even your child’s anticipated loss of future earning potential must be considered.
Depending upon the circumstances, a fair settlement award might include compensation for:
Protecting your right to fair compensation in a birth injury case involves analyzing complex evidence and records to determine how the birth injury happened. Lack of communication between medical professionals, failure to monitor the delivery, and even failure to recognize risk factors during the pregnancy can all point to medical malpractice.

The lawyer at the Epstein Law Firm, P.A. know the stress you are likely under and are committed to giving you and your case the personal attention you need.

As a general matter, after our lawyers investigate and consult with experts, there are a number of procedural steps that may take place depending upon the circumstances of your case. We will make sure you understand how your specific case is likely to proceed, but the following general steps can provide an overview:
Throughout every phase of the overall process, our lawyers will negotiate with the doctor or hospital’s insurance company to attempt to reach a full and fair settlement agreement. Because of this, many cases do not proceed through every phase.
A birth injury can dramatically alter your plans for your family’s future. The Epstein Law Firm, P.A. our medical malpractice lawyers will fight by your side every step of the way to get the fair compensation you need to move forward. For a free case review, contact our office today.
Our lawyers must establish that the actions (or omissions) that caused the birth injury amounted to medical malpractice. This includes establishing:
– The medical standard of care (what a reasonable medical professional would have done to prevent the birth injury) – Breach of that standard based on what your doctor did or did not do – Causation, meaning that the birth injury would not have happened if not for the doctor’s breach of the medical standard – Damages, in the form of increased medical needs, long-term care, pain and suffering and more
We often refer to the actions of a “doctor”, but in reality, any medical professional can be held liable for medical malpractice. This includes:
– Nurses – Medical specialists, such as obstetricians and gynecologists – Radiologists – Pharmacists – The hospital or facility where you received care
Ultimately, an insurance company will bear the financial burden. Doctors and hospitals carry malpractice insurance that almost always is actually responsible for paying your settlement award.
