Lifelong Harm Caused by Medical Negligence During Childbirth

Few experiences are more devastating for a family than learning that a newborn has suffered a serious injury during childbirth. When a birth injury results from a preventable medical mistake, the consequences can affect a child's health, development, and quality of life for decades to come. Parents are often left facing overwhelming medical bills, long-term care needs, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about their child's future. At BBB Attorneys, we understand the immense pain and frustration families experience after a birth injury, and we are committed to helping victims pursue justice and the financial resources needed to care for their child.


Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical providers have a legal duty to follow accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. When that duty is breached through negligence, infants can suffer serious harm including cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, and other lifelong conditions. The CDC reports approximately 157,700 potentially avoidable injuries to mothers and newborns each year, and obstetricians are among the most frequently sued physicians. If your child was injured because a medical provider failed to act appropriately before, during, or after delivery, BBB Attorneys is prepared to help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation your family deserves.

What Are Common Types of Birth Injuries?

Birth injury cases often involve complex medical and legal questions because multiple parties may share responsibility for what occurred during childbirth. Liability may involve obstetricians, nurses, midwives, anesthesiologists, hospitals, or other healthcare providers whose actions or failures contributed to the injury. At BBB Attorneys, we conduct thorough investigations into birth injury claims to determine exactly what went wrong and identify all potentially responsible parties. Our legal team works to obtain medical records, consult with qualified medical experts, review prenatal and delivery documentation, and uncover evidence of negligence.


Some of the most common types of birth injuries include:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb's palsy and brachial plexus injuries
  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Skull fractures
  • Nerve damage and facial paralysis
  • Bone fractures (clavicle and others)
  • Developmental disabilities

Birth injuries can result in catastrophic, lifelong conditions that require extensive medical treatment, therapy, and specialized care. Many children affected by birth injuries require ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, special education services, assistive equipment, and lifelong medical support. The financial and emotional burden on families can be overwhelming, especially when the injury could have been prevented through proper medical care. Beyond the financial impact, families often experience significant emotional distress as they navigate medical appointments, therapy sessions, and lifelong care planning. BBB Attorneys understands the seriousness of these injuries and is committed to helping affected families pursue compensation for medical treatment, ongoing care needs, pain and suffering, and other damages.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS

What is a birth injury?
A birth injury is any physical harm or impairment a baby suffers before, during, or shortly after the birthing process. Birth injuries can range from minor bruising that heals quickly to severe conditions that result in lifelong disabilities. According to the CDC, approximately 7 out of every 1,000 babies born in the United States suffer some form of birth injury. While not all birth injuries are caused by medical negligence, many are preventable when healthcare providers follow accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
What are the most common types of birth injuries?
Common types of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries such as Erb's palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) caused by oxygen deprivation, traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, nerve damage, fractures of the clavicle or other bones, facial paralysis, and developmental disabilities. Many of these injuries can result from preventable medical errors during labor and delivery, including failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-sections, improper use of delivery instruments, and medication errors.
Who can be held responsible for a birth injury?
Many parties may potentially be held responsible for a birth injury caused by medical negligence, including obstetricians, nurses, midwives, anesthesiologists, hospitals, medical staff, and other healthcare providers. Obstetricians are among the most frequently sued physicians, reflecting the high stakes and complexity of childbirth. A thorough investigation is often needed to determine which parties' actions or failures contributed to the injury. BBB Attorneys works with qualified medical experts to identify every responsible party.
What compensation can families recover after a birth injury?
Families affected by birth injuries may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, ongoing therapy and rehabilitation, specialized care, assistive equipment, special education, home modifications, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving permanent disabilities, compensation may also include lifelong medical support and future care costs. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injury and the long-term impact on the child and family.
How common are birth injuries?
Birth injuries occur in about 7 of every 1,000 babies born in the United States, with approximately 157,700 potentially avoidable injuries to mothers and newborns each year. Certain risk factors can increase the likelihood of birth injury, including oversized babies, premature births, multiple births, and births in rural areas. Women between the ages of 25 and 34 are also statistically more likely to experience birth-related injuries. While many birth injuries are unavoidable, those caused by medical negligence may give families the right to pursue compensation.
