Birth Injury and Medical Negligence

When a moment that should bring unparalleled joy—the birth of your child—turns into heartbreak because of injuries suffered during delivery, the Law Office of Woodson & Goodwin stands ready to support you through the aftermath.

Many birth-related injuries result from medical errors that could have been avoided with proper care, adequate preparation, and appropriate equipment. Our firm is prepared to pursue accountability in these cases of medical negligence and fight for families who have been harmed.

In some cases, parents may not immediately realize their newborn has been injured, and medical professionals may be reluctant to disclose mistakes or oversights. Unfortunately, these injuries often become apparent only days or weeks later, when the full impact of the harm begins to emerge.

Common Causes of Preventable Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can result from failures in medical care, including:

• Delays in providing a correct diagnosis
• Following incorrect delivery procedures
• Using unmonitored or defective equipment to track the unborn child’s heartbeat
• Brain injuries caused by delays in medical response
• Unnecessary delays in performing a cesarean section
• Failures by nursing staff to follow physician orders or established procedures

Injuries Linked to Medical Negligence

When errors occur during labor and delivery, they can lead to serious and lifelong conditions such as:

• Cerebral palsy or other forms of brain damage
• Erb’s palsy
• Shoulder dystocia or brachial plexus injuries
• Cephalohematoma (bleeding beneath the infant’s skull)

These conditions often require extensive medical care, ongoing therapy, and long-term support. The consequences extend far beyond the child, placing significant emotional, physical, and financial strain on the entire family.

How We Can Help

Woodson & Goodwin will carefully review medical records, consult with medical experts, and investigate whether negligence contributed to your child’s injuries. Our goal is to seek justice, accountability, and the financial resources your family needs to care for your child now and in the future.
