How is a Birth Injury Identified?

A birth injury is any type of harm or injury to a child before, during, and just after the time of birth. Birth injuries can occur in a very short period of time. A child can suffer permanent brain damage within six minutes from being deprived of oxygen and decreased blood flow to the brain during the delivery process.

It is important to understand that birth injuries are birth defects are not the same. They are two different medical issues. A birth injury happens when the mother is in labor or in the process of delivery whereas a birth defect is a health condition that forms while the child is still in the womb.

Factors That Can Contribute To A Birth Injury

When a doctor or health care provider fails to anticipate potential problems that are reasonably foreseeable and fails to intervene in a timely manner, it can cause irreversible harm to the mother or child.

Some ways birth injuries are caused by medical negligence include the following:

  • Improperly pulling or twisting a child during delivery
  • Failing to schedule and perform an emergency C-section
  • Improperly using forceps, vacuum extractors and other birth-assisting tools
  • Failing to monitor the child for signs of distress
  • Improperly administering medications during labor
  • Failing to diagnose maternal infections in the mother
  • Failing to provide adequate prenatal care

If you think that your child has experienced a birth injury, we recommend that you contact a Flagstaff birth injury attorney. We can review the details of your situation and see if you may be able to pursue a claim.

Contact our office today by calling 602-222-222 .

Birth Injury Medical Conditions

Birth injuries often cause brain and muscle-related complications.

Some medical conditions associated with birth injuries include:

  • Brachial plexus injuries
  • Erb’s palsy
  • Klumpke’s palsy
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

If you believe your child suffered a birth injury caused by the negligence of a doctor or other health care professional, we encourage you to consult a licensed Flagstaff birth injury lawyer to determine if you have a case and may be eligible for compensation for ongoing medical expenses and future treatment.

Every birth injury is different, so it is difficult to determine what your case may be worth without our legal team reviewing the specifics of your situation.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

My experience with Phillips Law Group was outstanding. They have represented me in two different cases and Kurt Maahs and his team have helped me every step of the way, Tracy and Hannah were always prompt in answering my emails. Nasser helped get me the settlement I desired. If you ever need representation from a firm who shows they care Phillips Law Group is a firm who shows they genuinely have the interest of their client. Thanks for all y’all did for my family and me. If ever I need representation again. Y’all will be my first choice.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...

Deadline to File a Birth Injury Claim

Arizona follows a legal timeframe known as the statute of limitations, which sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit after an injury. If you fail to file before the deadline passes, you may be unable to file a lawsuit in court and obtain the compensation you need.

Most birth injury claims must generally be filed within two years from the date the injury occurred. However, there can be exceptions to this rule. You may be required to file before or even after this deadline. If you are unsure if you have a claim, contact a knowledgeable Flagstaff birth injury attorney from our firm today.
