Ohio Birth Injury Attorneys

A birth injury diagnosis is difficult on your whole family. Birth injuries can lead to lifelong disabilities, such as cerebral palsy (CP) and developmental disabilities. A confusing, complicated diagnosis can make the future seem uncertain.

The Ohio birth injury attorneys and supporting staff at ABC Law Centers: Birth Injury Lawyers are here for you.

Deciding to file a lawsuit is a difficult and personal decision. A birth injury lawsuit can ensure you have the finances to cover your child’s care for life. A successful verdict or settlement allows your family to afford aid like physical therapy, mobility tools, and accessible housing for your child.

Let us help with medical records, treatment provider recommendations, and figuring out what happened at the hospital. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fees unless we win your case. We are here to listen and secure the best future for your child.

Many birth injuries are preventable – and the hospital can be held accountable for failing to prevent these injuries. Whether due to negligence or malpractice, the permanent consequences to your child should not be taken lightly.

Every child’s situation will be different, and birth trauma can lead to several diagnoses at once. The circumstances around a birth injury can involve multiple factors. Our cases often involve things like:

• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
• Cerebral palsy
• A delayed emergency c-section
• Infant seizures
• Umbilical cord problems
• A high-risk pregnancy
• And other birth injuries

Our attorneys have handled many types of birth injury cases across the country. As a parent, you want to do everything you can to take care of your child. Let us help you ensure your child lives the best life possible.

Babies who experience birth injuries will need treatment from a NICU, or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This is a specialized care section of the hospital with equipment for treating infants. The NICU provides supportive services, resuscitation equipment, and treatment for premature babies.

If a child is diagnosed with HIE, most providers will use therapeutic hypothermia, or neonatal cooling. However, there is a short window for this treatment, and the baby must be cooled right after birth. Cooling therapy can help the baby’s brain recover from a brain injury. This treatment can minimize the damage from oxygen deprivation due to trauma during birth.

Several hospitals in Ohio can provide this kind of care for HIE. Level III or Level IV NICUs provide the specialized care that a baby with a birth injury typically needs.

Here is a short list of hospitals in Ohio with Level III or IV NICU designations:
