Birth Injury

A birth injury is typically the result of medical malpractice that can sometimes leave a child with lifetime of medical problems. Many times these injuries could have been prevented if the correct medical procedures had been performed. At Day, Shell and Liljenquist, L.C. we represent families that have a child that has suffered because of negligence by a medical professional. Our legal team will listen to your claim and diligently work to help you recover the monetary compensation that you deserve for your child's injury.

Many factors that can occur during the labor process can increase the likelihood of a birth injury: factors such as a breech birth, the umbilical cord around the baby's neck or a larger than average baby. Many types of complications can be properly treated by a skilled physician thus avoiding an injury to the baby. If you believe your baby has suffered a birth injury due to the negligence of a medical professional, contact one of our attorneys who can help determine whether you may be entitled to receive compensation.

Types of common birth injuries include:

• Erb's Palsy, also known as Brachial Palsy
• Brain Damage due to lack of oxygen to the baby during delivery
• Cerebral Palsy in which the cerebrum is damaged and causes nerve impairment.
