Every Type of Birth Injury Case
in Nueva York

👶

Cerebral palsy

Often caused by oxygen deprivation during labor. We analyze fetal monitoring strips, delivery records, and timing of medical decisions to establish negligence.

👶

Erb's palsy and brachial plexus injuries

Caused by excessive force during delivery. Shoulder dystocia must be managed with specific techniques — deviation from those techniques is malpractice.

👶

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)

Brain injury from oxygen deprivation. Often preventable with timely C-section decisions. We work with leading neonatologists and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

👶

Delayed C-section injuries

When a necessary emergency C-section is ordered too late, the resulting brain damage can be permanent. We establish what monitoring data showed and when the decision should have been made.

👶

Forceps and vacuum injuries

Improper use of delivery instruments causes skull fractures, brain bleeding, and facial nerve damage. These injuries leave documentary evidence in the delivery record.

👶

Failure to diagnose fetal distress

Fetal heart rate monitoring is designed to detect distress. Failure to recognize and respond to alarming patterns is among the most common causes of preventable birth injuries.

Birth Injury Questions
We Hear Every Day

What is the statute of limitations for birth injury cases in Nueva York?+

For a child's own claim, the statute of limitations is tolled (paused) until the child turns 18 — the lawsuit must be filed within 10 years of the malpractice or before the child turns 18, whichever is later. For the parents' derivative claims, the general 2.5-year malpractice statute applies.

What birth injuries are caused by medical negligence?+

Cerebral palsy (often from oxygen deprivation), Erb's palsy (from improper delivery technique causing brachial plexus damage), brain damage from delayed C-section decisions, skull fractures from improper forceps or vacuum use, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

How do I know if my child's birth injury was preventable?+

Signs include: a delayed or emergency C-section that was not called in time, a baby born with low Apgar scores, NICU admission without clear explanation, evidence of oxygen deprivation, or a child later diagnosed with cerebral palsy or developmental delays. We conduct a full medical record review to evaluate causation.

What can be recovered in a birth injury case?+

Past and future medical expenses — which can be in the millions for lifetime care needs — lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the cost of special education, therapy, and adaptive equipment. These are among the largest medical malpractice verdicts in Nueva York history.
