Help for Families Affected by Birth Injuries in Dallas, Texas and Nationwide
Medical negligence cases involving birth injury or birth trauma arise in a variety of contexts. Many times, parents suspect that a physician, nurse or hospital is to blame for their child's injury, but the evidence can be difficult or impossible to find without help.
The experienced trial attorneys of Miller Weisbrod, LLP, represent families in Texas and across the country that have suffered due to medical malpractice and labor and delivery negligence that result in any serious birth injury.
Did your child suffer a serious birth injury due to doctor error or negligence before, during or after delivery? You could be entitled to compensation for the medical expenses and long-term care needs he or she will require.

Full Compensation in Birth Injury Cases
In many birth injury and birth trauma cases, it is the failure of a hospital, physician or nurse to respond to signs of fetal distress or perform a timely C-section that is to blame. These cases often require a lifetime of care for the injured child.
We are committed to helping our clients obtain the compensation they deserve and to seeing to it that a settlement or jury verdict provides a lifetime of care for the injured child. Our experience includes birth injuries such as:
- Cerebral palsy caused by traumatic hypoxic brain injury, or lack of oxygen to the brain, prior to, during or following delivery
- Shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury caused by improper delivery practices, resulting in birth injuries and lifetime disability such as Erb's palsy
- Forceps and vacuum extractor injuries resulting in skull malformation, skull fracture, neck injuries, hypovolemic shock, brain damage or even death
- Misdiagnosis of fetal distress, resulting in injury to the brain or other organs
- Complications of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC)
- Failure to perform or accurately interpret prenatal screening for serious or life-threatening conditions
- Wrongful death as a result of negligent care or monitoring before, during or after birth
Damages in such cases may include past medical expenses, future medical expenses, the cost of raising a child with special needs and other expenses resulting from the negligence. The attorneys at Miller Weisbrod can help you gather the facts necessary to determine if negligence was involved. If so, we can help ensure that the negligent parties pay.
