Why Families Trust Us with Complex Birth Injury Cases

Birth injury claims are among the most complex cases in medical malpractice law. They often involve detailed medical records, long-term care considerations, and significant emotional stakes for families. Unlike most other medical malpractice claims, birth injury cases also become more complicated because the injured party cannot clearly communicate what happened to them and what they are going through.

Our team takes these cases seriously and works closely with each family to understand their situation. With our experience and resources, we can handle your case, no matter how complicated it might look now.

Families turn to our firm because we offer:

• Extensive experience handling complex birth injury cases
• A thorough, evidence-driven approach to case preparation
• Access to respected medical experts and specialists
• A willingness to pursue cases through trial when necessary
• Personalized attention and consistent communication throughout the process

Perhaps most importantly, since January 2018, our birth injury attorneys have twice broken the California record for the largest medical malpractice recoveries with two separate birth injury claims. In the first case our attorneys secured a $14 million birth injury settlement for a client whose child suffered a neonatal brain injury. In the second case, our firm secured a $17 million birth injury settlement for a client whose child suffered brain damage during the mother’s pregnancy.

Birth Injury Cases We Handle

Birth injuries can occur at different stages of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. In some cases, they result from a failure to monitor the baby’s condition, delays in responding to complications, or errors in medical judgment. While every case is unique, many birth injuries share common underlying causes tied to preventable mistakes by medical providers.

We can handle cases involving the following and more:

• Brain injuries such as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
• Cerebral palsy
• Erb’s palsy
• Shoulder dystocia
• Premature delivery
• Failure to offer or perform a C-section to protect the health of the baby
• Labor complications
• Chemical birth defects
• Spinal cord injuries
• Maternal injuries
• Wrongful death

Working With Medical Specialists for Your Claim

Birth injury cases require an understanding of obstetrics and neonatal care. Our attorneys can work closely with medical specialists, including pediatricians, neurologists, obstetricians, and life care planners, to evaluate what happened and how it has affected your child. These experts help us analyze medical records, identify deviations from the standard of care, and explain how those failures led to your child’s injury.

We often collaborate with specialists who can assist with:

• Reviewing prenatal, labor, and delivery records
• Identifying signs of fetal distress or medical mismanagement
• Explaining complex medical concepts in a clear and understandable way
• Assessing the child’s current condition and future care needs
• Providing expert testimony when cases proceed to litigation

Compensation to Support Your Child’s Future

A birth injury can create lifelong challenges that require ongoing care, therapy, and day-to-day support. A legal claim is one way to seek financial resources that can help provide your child with the care and opportunities they need moving forward.

Compensation in a birth injury case may include:

• Medical expenses related to the injury, for both past care and future care needs
• Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation costs
• Specialized equipment and assistive technology
• Home modifications and accessibility improvements
• Educational support and developmental services
• Lost future earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life

We understand that no financial recovery can undo what has happened. However, pursuing compensation can help ease the financial burden and allow your family to focus on your child’s well-being. By working with medical and financial experts, we carefully evaluate the full scope of your child’s needs, not just for today, but for the years and decades ahead, too.
