Our cerebral palsy lawyers handle cases involving a brain damaged baby. These birth lawsuits are filed against hospitals and physicians for medical mistakes made during pregnancy, delivery, or after birth.  Medical errors can cause of brain damage in a baby and proper care and treatment could have prevented this injury. Some of the causes of brain damage in a baby include:

  • Hypoxia (low oxygen asphyxia)
  • Ischemia (low blood pressure and flow)
  • Hemorrhages, spontaneous or traumatic
  • Apnea; cessation of breathing
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
  • Kernicterus (excessive bilirubin)
  • Infection (e.g., meningitis)
  • Seizures (which complicate and exacerbate other pathologic processes)
  • Hydrocephalus
  • Jaundice 

Brain damage can occur in the absence of a medical error or mistake.  Our experienced Michigan baby brain damage lawyers will review all of the pre-natal records, birth records, and other medical records to determine if the problems were natural or caused by medical malpractice.  Some of the medical malpractice causes of baby brain damage include:

  • Vacuum extraction or forcep injuries
  • Failure to perform a cesarean section (C-Section)
  • Delay in performing a cesarean section
  • Failure to induce labor when there is fetal distress
  • Failure to provide proper treatment for jaundice
  • Use of improper force during delivery

Brain Damage Baby Lawsuits

Medical errors that cause brain damage to a baby can give rise to a birth injury lawsuit.  These cases seek compensation for the lifetime of disability for the child, special education needs, special medical needs, and housing needs.  The parents can also receive compensation for the extraordinary care that is required to raise a special needs child.  Additionally, settlements also provide for care for the child after the parents are gone or can no longer provide the necessary care and environment as the child gets older.
