Lifelong Harm Caused by Medical Negligence During Childbirth

Few experiences are more devastating for a family than learning that a newborn has suffered a serious injury during childbirth. When a birth injury results from a preventable medical mistake, the consequences can affect a child's health, development, and quality of life for decades to come. Parents are often left facing overwhelming medical bills, long-term care needs, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about their child's future. At BBB Attorneys, we understand the immense pain and frustration families experience after a birth injury, and we are committed to helping victims pursue justice and the financial resources needed to care for their child.


Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical providers have a legal duty to follow accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. When that duty is breached through negligence, infants can suffer serious harm including cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brain damage, oxygen deprivation, and other lifelong conditions. If your child was injured because a medical provider failed to act appropriately before, during, or after delivery, you may have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, future care costs, pain and suffering, and other damages. BBB Attorneys is prepared to investigate the circumstances surrounding your child's injury, hold negligent parties accountable, and fight for the full compensation your family deserves under Connecticut law.

What Caused Your Child's Birth Injury?

Birth injury cases often involve complex medical and legal questions because multiple parties may share responsibility for what occurred during childbirth. Liability may involve obstetricians, nurses, midwives, anesthesiologists, hospitals, or other healthcare providers whose actions or failures contributed to the injury. At BBB Attorneys, we conduct thorough investigations into birth injury claims to determine exactly what went wrong and identify all potentially responsible parties. Our legal team works to obtain medical records, consult with qualified medical experts, review prenatal and delivery documentation, and uncover evidence of negligence.


Some of the most common causes of birth injuries include:

  • Failure to monitor fetal distress
  • Delayed or improper C-section
  • Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
  • Oxygen deprivation during delivery
  • Failure to diagnose maternal conditions
  • Medication errors during labor
  • Mismanagement of high-risk pregnancies
  • Failure to respond to complications

Birth injuries can result in catastrophic, lifelong conditions that require extensive medical treatment, therapy, and specialized care. Common injuries may include cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brachial plexus injuries, traumatic brain injuries, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, skull fractures, nerve damage, and developmental disabilities. Many children affected by birth injuries require ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, special education services, assistive equipment, and lifelong medical support. The financial and emotional burden on families can be overwhelming, especially when the injury could have been prevented through proper medical care. No matter how complex your case may be, BBB Attorneys is prepared to stand by your family, protect your legal rights, and fight for the compensation your child deserves.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS

Who can be held liable for a birth injury in Connecticut?
Several parties may potentially be held liable for a birth injury, depending on how the harm occurred. Liability may involve obstetricians, nurses, midwives, anesthesiologists, hospitals, medical staff, pharmaceutical companies, or medical device manufacturers whose negligence contributed to the injury. Liability is generally determined by examining factors such as the standard of care provided, whether medical negligence occurred, informed consent, and other circumstances specific to the case. A detailed investigation and review by medical experts is often necessary to identify every responsible party.
Can I file a claim if my child was injured during delivery?
Yes. If a medical provider failed to follow accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or postpartum treatment, and that failure caused harm to your child, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim. Common examples include failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-section, improper use of delivery instruments, oxygen deprivation, and medication errors. BBB Attorneys investigates each case carefully and works with qualified medical experts to determine whether negligence contributed to your child's injury.
How long do I have to file a birth injury claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut law generally limits the amount of time families have to file a medical malpractice claim after a birth injury. In many cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, with an overall limit on how long after the injury a claim can be brought. Birth injury claims often involve strict legal deadlines and complex pre-filing requirements, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
What compensation can families recover after a birth injury?
Families affected by birth injuries may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, ongoing therapy, rehabilitation, specialized care, assistive equipment, special education, home modifications, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving permanent disabilities, compensation may also include lifelong medical support and future care costs. The amount of compensation available depends on the severity of the injury and the long-term impact on the child and family.
What evidence is needed to support a birth injury claim?
Supporting a birth injury claim often requires extensive evidence, including complete medical records, prenatal and delivery documentation, fetal monitoring strips, expert opinions from qualified medical professionals, witness statements, and documentation of the child's ongoing medical care and prognosis. Because hospitals and insurance companies often work quickly to limit liability, important evidence can be lost or difficult to obtain over time. BBB Attorneys helps Connecticut families gather the evidence needed to build a strong case and pursue full compensation.
