Even small oversights—such as not securing fetal monitoring strips or failing to record early symptoms—can weaken your case. Our firm ensures every detail is documented from the beginning.
What to Know About Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can occur suddenly during labor or delivery, leaving newborns and mothers facing medical complications, emotional distress, and unexpected medical bills. Infants are extremely vulnerable during childbirth, and even minor medical errors can result in serious, long-term injuries. Common situations include improper fetal monitoring, delayed emergency intervention, or misuse of delivery tools.
If your child suffered a birth injury, acting quickly is essential. Evidence such as fetal monitoring strips, delivery room records, medical notes, and communication logs can be critical in establishing negligence. Boyadzhyan Law Firm specializes in birth injury cases and works closely with medical experts, investigators, and hospitals to ensure families receive the compensation they deserve.
Even injuries that appear minor at first can progress into long-term disabilities, making prompt legal and medical evaluation crucial. Our attorneys handle every aspect of your birth injury claim—from collecting medical documentation to negotiating with insurers or preparing for litigation—so you can focus on your child’s care and recovery.
Who’s Liable in a Birth Injury?
Birth injury cases are complex because multiple medical providers or entities may share responsibility. Liability may extend beyond the doctor and include:
Doctors & Obstetricians
Medical professionals whose errors—such as delayed C-sections, improper delivery techniques, or failure to monitor fetal distress—cause harm.
Nurses & Delivery Staff
If poor monitoring, communication errors, or failure to follow safety procedures contributed to the injury.
Hospitals or Medical Facilities
When inadequate policies, understaffing, untrained personnel, or unsafe birthing environments lead to preventable complications.
Determining exactly what happened during labor and delivery is essential. Our team conducts a thorough investigation, reviewing fetal monitoring data, delivery records, staff communication logs, and expert medical opinions to determine liability. We challenge denied claims, resolve disputes with hospitals and insurers, and hold all negligent parties accountable for the harm they caused.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can happen instantly and often lead to severe and lasting consequences. Some of the most frequent contributing factors include:
- Failure to Monitor Fetal Distress
- Delayed Emergency C-Section
- Improper Use of Forceps or Vacuum Extractors
- Oxygen Deprivation (Hypoxia)
- Shoulder Dystocia Mismanagement
- Medication or Induction Errors
It’s crucial to determine exactly what caused the birth injury. Our attorneys assess medical charts, fetal monitoring strips, delivery room notes, and hospital procedures to identify every responsible party. We also challenge negligent medical practices, uncover evidence of errors, and hold medical providers accountable for the injuries inflicted on your child.
What to Do After a Birth Injury
If your child suffered a birth injury, acting quickly can protect your rights and strengthen your case. Take the following steps immediately:
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Notify Medical Providers and Request Records
Capture Evidence
Gather Witness Information
Consult a Birth Injury Lawyer
Families often face challenges when hospitals deny responsibility, delay release of records, or attempt to minimize the situation. Hiring a skilled birth injury attorney early increases your chances of securing full compensation for your child’s long-term needs.
Common Injuries in Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can cause severe complications, especially given a newborn’s vulnerability during delivery. Common injuries include:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb’s Palsy)
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Fractures During Delivery
- Brain Hemorrhage
- Nerve and Muscle Damage
- Facial Paralysis
Even injuries that appear minor early on can develop into long-term neurological, developmental, or physical impairments. Our attorneys meticulously document every aspect of the injury to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for current and future care.
Why Birth Injury Cases Require Aggressive Legal Action
Birth injuries can occur in delivery rooms, birthing centers, or hospitals, and they often have life-altering consequences. Recovering full compensation can be difficult because liability may involve doctors, nurses, hospitals, and medical equipment manufacturers—each with their own insurance providers and legal teams.
Families frequently face denial of responsibility, attempts to minimize the severity of injuries, or delays in releasing medical records. When your child has suffered a preventable birth injury, you face a complex network of potential responsible parties and powerful insurers.
That’s why Boyadzhyan Law Firm handles every birth injury case with urgency and a strategic approach. We conduct comprehensive investigations, identify all negligent parties, and aggressively pursue compensation for medical care, therapy, long-term treatment, and future needs.

Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries often occur unexpectedly and may lead to serious health issues. Some of the most significant contributing factors include:
- Failure to Monitor Fetal Distress
- Misuse of Delivery Tools
- Poor Response to Complications
- Delayed C-Section
- Improper Medication or Induction
- Communication Errors Among Staff
According to national medical data, birth injuries contribute to significant long-term disabilities in infants each year. These statistics highlight the risks involved in childbirth and the importance of proper medical care, monitoring, and timely intervention to prevent avoidable injuries.
How Birth Injury Insurance Coverage Works
Understanding insurance coverage for birth injury cases is complex. Coverage may involve multiple medical practitioners and facilities. Key considerations include:
Hospital Liability Insurance
Covers injuries caused by negligent staff, unsafe policies, or improper procedures.
Physicians’ Malpractice Insurance
Applies when a doctor’s error during labor or delivery results in harm.
Supplemental or Private Medical Policies
May provide coverage for immediate treatment and ongoing care needs.
Accessing compensation after a birth injury can be difficult. Hospitals may dispute liability, delay producing records, or challenge your claim. At Boyadzhyan Law Firm, we gather comprehensive medical documentation—including fetal monitoring strips, witness testimony, expert evaluations, and hospital records—to establish fault and ensure your damages are fully recognized.
