Birth Injuries

Birth Injury Lawyers

One of life's wonders is to look at a newborn baby and imagine what his or her future may hold. Will she be artistic like her mother? Will he have his father's mechanical ability? When a baby is born healthy, the possibilities are unlimited.

However, a child who suffers a birth injury may be saddled with a lifetime of disability and limited expectations. Preventable birth injuries can cause serious, permanent injuries that rob the child of a "normal" future.

If your child was the victim of a preventable birth injury, please contact an attorney at D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC to discuss your case. We help birth injury victims and their families recover financial compensation for current and future medical care, pain and suffering, and loss of future potential earning capacity.

Birth injuries can happen when the obstetrician, nurse midwife or advanced practice nurse miss an indication of distress on the fetal monitor. The distress can indicate a lack of oxygen to the brain which can result in an anoxic brain injury. The result can include permanent brain damage, Cerebral Palsy and severe neurological damage.

Other common birth injuries are caused by forceps deliveries or by a delay in performing a cesarean section.

We represent victims of all types of birth injuries, including:

• Brachial Plexus Injury
• Cerebral Palsy
• Erb's Palsy
