Birth Injuries
Advocating for families when preventable errors injure mothers and newborns.
A birth injury can change a family’s future in an instant. When medical teams fail to respond to complications, monitor fetal distress, or follow proper protocols, children and mothers may suffer lifelong harm.
Kelso Law Group supports families navigating the emotional and financial weight of birth-related injuries. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.
Common Birth Injury Cases We Handle
Birth injury claims require detailed medical review and compassion for the families involved. We handle cases involving:
- Cerebral palsy and oxygen deprivation injuries
- Brachial plexus and nerve damage
- Failure to perform timely C-sections
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Maternal hemorrhage and complication negligence
- Failure to diagnose infections or conditions in utero
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.
Depending on your case, compensation may include:
- Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
What To Do If You Suspect a Birth Injury
If you believe a birth injury was preventable, these steps can protect your family’s rights:
- Ensure your child receives appropriate specialist evaluations and ongoing care.
- Request complete labor, delivery, and neonatal medical records.
- Document developmental concerns, diagnoses, and recommended therapies.
- Avoid signing releases from the hospital without legal advice.
- Contact Kelso Law Group to discuss whether negligence may have played a role.
