Birth Injury

Bringing a child into the world should be a joyful moment. But when medical professionals fail to follow proper procedures during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the consequences can be devastating. Birth injuries can result in permanent physical and cognitive disabilities that affect the child and their family for life.

At FGH Law Group, we help families pursue justice and financial compensation when medical negligence causes preventable harm during childbirth.

What Is a Birth Injury?

Birth injuries refer to physical trauma or medical complications a baby suffers before, during, or shortly after delivery, often due to negligence. These injuries can have lifelong consequences for your child, requiring extensive medical care, therapy, and support.

Common causes of birth injuries include:

  • Failure to monitor fetal distress
  • Delayed or improper response to delivery complications
  • Incorrect use of forceps or vacuum extraction tools
  • Failure to perform an emergency C-section
  • Misuse of labor-inducing drugs like Pitocin
  • Neglect during prenatal care (undetected infections, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes)
  • Improper handling of shoulder dystocia or breech births

Our Attorneys advocate for families affected by birth injuries, providing compassionate legal support from uncovering medical negligence to pursuing justice and lifelong compensation for your child’s care.
