If your child was hurt at birth because of a doctor’s mistake, this law firm is ready to help.

What Is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury happens when something goes wrong during pregnancy, labor, or delivery—and the baby is harmed. These injuries may happen because of:

• A delayed C-section

• Not monitoring the baby closely

• A doctor or nurse making a mistake

• Lack of oxygen during birth

• Improper use of delivery tools

Some birth injuries are mild and go away quickly. But others are permanent and may affect the child’s entire life. This is where ABC Law Centers steps in—to get families the help and support they need.

Common Types of Birth Injuries

ABC Law Centers handles many kinds of birth injury cases. Some of the most common include:

Cerebral Palsy

This is a disorder that affects movement, muscle control, and coordination. It can be caused by brain damage at birth due to oxygen loss or trauma.

HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy)

This happens when the baby’s brain doesn’t get enough oxygen and blood. It can lead to seizures, brain damage, and lifelong disabilities.

Brachial Plexus Injuries (Including Erb’s Palsy)

This is an injury to the nerves that control the arm and hand. It often happens during tough deliveries when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck.

Shoulder Dystocia

This happens when the baby’s shoulders get stuck after the head is delivered. It can lead to nerve damage or broken bones if not handled quickly.

Birth Trauma

This can include skull fractures, brain bleeding, or damage caused by tools like forceps or vacuums.

ABC Law Centers works to uncover whether these injuries were caused by medical negligence—and helps families seek justice when they were.

What Causes Preventable Birth Injuries?

Doctors and nurses are trained to watch for signs of trouble. But sometimes they miss key warning signs, such as:

• Changes in the baby’s heart rate

• Signs of fetal distress

• Infections in the mother

• Umbilical cord problems

• Labor taking too long

When medical staff waits too long or makes the wrong call, it can cause serious harm. ABC Law Centers helps families figure out what happened—and who was responsible.

How ABC Law Centers Investigates Birth Injury Cases

Every case starts with a free consultation. From there, their legal and medical team begins a careful review, including:

• Getting copies of prenatal and birth records

• Examining fetal heart monitor readings

• Talking with expert doctors and nurses

• Reviewing what happened before, during, and after birth

They look for signs that the birth injury could have been prevented. If there was negligence, they build a strong legal case to help the family recover damages.

How Long-Term Disabilities Affect Families

When a child has a birth injury, it affects more than just their health. It can impact every part of family life. Parents may need to stop working to care for the child. Siblings may get less attention. Daily routines can become stressful.

Common needs for children with birth injuries include:

• Wheelchairs and mobility aids

• Special education services

• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy

• Feeding tubes or breathing equipment

• In-home nursing care

• Ongoing doctor appointments

All of this costs money—often hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars over a lifetime. ABC Law Centers helps families seek settlements that cover these needs long-term.

Financial Support From a Legal Settlement

A legal settlement from a birth injury case can help pay for:

• Medical bills (past and future)

• Special equipment

• Home changes (like ramps or widened doorways)

• Daily care needs

• Lost income if a parent stops working

• Emotional suffering

• Pain experienced by the child

These settlements are carefully planned to support the child’s care for years to come. ABC Law Centers works with financial experts to make sure families have what they need—now and later.

How Long Do You Have to File a Birth Injury Claim?

Each state has a time limit for filing birth injury lawsuits. This is called the statute of limitations. Some states give you only one or two years. Others may allow more time—especially if the injury wasn’t noticed right away.

ABC Law Centers can help you figure out how much time you have left. Even if your child is older, it might not be too late to take action. The sooner you call, the more options you may have.

Why ABC Law Centers Only Takes Birth Injury Cases

A Warm Story From a Real Family

“Our daughter had a tough birth, and we knew something was wrong from the start. She couldn’t move one of her arms and had to spend time in the NICU. Doctors said it was ‘just one of those things,’ but it didn’t sit right with us. We found ABC Law Centers online and reached out. They were so kind. They helped us understand what went wrong and took care of everything. We won a settlement that let us afford therapy, equipment, and even a special van. We’re so thankful for their support.”— Jessie & Mike P., Lansing, MI
