California Birth Injury Lawyers

Childbirth is a special moment in a parent’s life. Unfortunately, the medical providers you entrust with your care can make mistakes that can lead to birth injuries –  resulting in complications that can cause lifelong issues for your child. These mistakes can be a result of negligent behavior or malpractice. If you or your loved one experienced a birth injury in California, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical expenses and other care the child may need.

Birth injury is very complex, with many different diagnoses. A child may be diagnosed with a lack of oxygen at birth (HIE) at the same time a brain bleed occurred. This can be a consequence of medical malpractice, and it can result in disability, such as cerebral palsy. However, some delays in the child’s development may not appear until they start missing developmental milestones.

Statute of Limitations

Unfortunately, there is a time limit for filing a lawsuit, called a statute of limitations. If you suspect malpractice occurred during birth, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. In California, you have until one day before your child’s 8th birthday to file a claim, though some government institutions and state-funded entities have different requirements.
