At Turnbull Brockmeyer Law Group, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective legal representation to families affected by birth injuries. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of these cases and work tirelessly to secure justice and compensation for our clients.

Understanding Birth Injuries

Birth injuries are physical injuries or damages sustained by a newborn during the birthing process. These injuries can result from various factors, including:

  • Medical Negligence: Errors made by healthcare providers during labor and delivery.
  • Improper Use of Instruments: Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors.
  • Failure to Monitor: Inadequate monitoring of fetal distress or maternal conditions.
  • Delayed Cesarean Section: Failure to perform a timely C-section when necessary.

Common types of birth injuries include:

  • Cerebral Palsy: A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
  • Brachial Plexus Injuries: Damage to the network of nerves controlling the arm and hand, which can result from excessive pulling during delivery.
  • Fractures: Broken bones, particularly the clavicle, can occur during difficult deliveries.
  • Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen flow to the brain during birth.
