Birth Injury

Personal Injury Form

In birth injury cases, Hillyard, Wahlberg, Kudla & Sloane, LLP measures success not by the amount of compensation we obtain for our clients, but in the difference we make in their lives.

We never forget that in birth injury cases we are representing children who face a lifetime living with an injury or disability. The compensation we obtain for them can provide the medical treatment, long term care, therapy, and other help that can enable our clients to live meaningful and rich lives.

We represent clients in all types of birth injury matters, including:

Brain injury — occurs when a baby suffers fetal distress before being delivered.

Brachial Plexus injury — occurring when shoulder dystocia damages the neck or shoulder nerves or spinal cord of a baby.

Cerebral Palsy — occurring due to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) during delivery, an infection in the mother during pregnancy, or birth trauma.

Mental retardation — occurring because of hypoxia during birth.

And other birth injuries

Often a cesarean section delivery can prevent some of these injuries from happening, but because of a medical error on the part of a doctor, midwife, nurse, or hospital, it may not be performed quickly enough. The result can be a permanent and disabling injury.
