Birth Injury Lawyer in Pennsylvania & New Jersey

When medical negligence during childbirth causes lasting harm, we help families fight for justice and answers.

When a Birth Plan Turns Into a Legal Case

Most deliveries are safe—but when doctors or nurses make mistakes, the consequences can last a lifetime. If your child suffered a preventable injury during labor, delivery, or immediate newborn care, it may be more than just bad luck—it may be malpractice. We help families in Pennsylvania and New Jersey understand their rights and pursue the compensation they’ll need for the road ahead.

What Can Cause a Birth Injury?

Birth injuries can result from errors before, during, or shortly after delivery. Common forms of negligence include:

  • Failure to monitor fetal distress
  • Delayed C-section decisions
  • Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
  • Failure to address umbilical cord issues
  • Poor newborn resuscitation or NICU transfer delays
  • Medication errors during labor

We work closely with medical experts to review what happened—and what should have been done differently.

Birth Injury in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

Start with answers, not confusion.

  • How do I know if my child’s injury was caused by malpractice?

    Sometimes, complications happen despite everyone’s best efforts. But in other cases, clear warning signs were missed or proper procedures weren’t followed. We investigate medical records, provider actions, fetal monitoring logs, and expert opinions to determine whether your child’s injury could—and should—have been prevented.

  • Is there a time limit to file a birth injury claim?

    Yes, but birth injury claims often allow a longer timeline than other medical malpractice cases. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the statute of limitations may extend until the child reaches age 18, with additional time after that depending on the specifics. Still, it's best to consult a lawyer early while evidence is still fresh.

  • Can I afford to hire a birth injury lawyer?

    Yes. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront—we only get paid if we win your case. The consultation is free, and you’ll speak directly with an attorney who understands the medical and emotional complexities of your situation.

  • What’s the difference between a birth defect and a birth injury?

    A birth defect is usually caused by genetics or developmental issues before birth. A birth injury, on the other hand, typically results from physical harm or a lack of oxygen during labor, delivery, or immediate postnatal care. Malpractice cases focus on birth injuries caused by medical errors.

  • Who can be held responsible for a birth injury?

    Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include the OB-GYN, nurses, delivery team, anesthesiologists, or the hospital itself. We investigate who was involved and what protocols were missed or ignored.
