A birth injury changes everything. What should be one of the happiest days of your life can turn into confusion, fear, and heartbreak especially when your child’s injury was preventable. If your baby suffered harm during labor or delivery at a Marietta hospital or birth center, you deserve to know what went wrong.
At Ted Law Firm, we help families throughout Marietta and Cobb County navigate complex birth injury claims. We uncover the truth, hold negligent providers accountable, and fight to secure the resources your child needs for the future.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury refers to physical harm a baby sustains before, during, or immediately after delivery often due to medical negligence. Not all complications are preventable, but many result from failure to follow accepted standards of care.
We handle cases involving:
- Cerebral palsy and brain damage from oxygen deprivation
- Erb’s palsy or brachial plexus injury due to improper delivery technique
- Shoulder dystocia mishandling
- Delayed emergency C-sections
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Medication errors during pregnancy or labor
- Untreated maternal infections
Warning Signs of a Birth Injury
While some signs of injury appear immediately, others emerge over time. Warning signs include:
- Low Apgar scores
- Muscle stiffness or weakness
- Difficulty feeding or breathing
- Seizures after birth
- Missed developmental milestones
- Lack of reflexes or coordination
- Excessive drooling or speech delays
If you notice any of these symptoms, or if something felt “off” during your delivery contact us to review your case.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Birth injury cases may involve multiple parties, including:
- OB/GYNs and delivery room physicians
- Nurses, anesthesiologists, or midwives
- Hospital staff or administrators
- Private medical clinics
- Emergency room providers (for delivery-related complications)
We obtain and review detailed medical records and consult independent experts to determine exactly what went wrong, and who’s responsible.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If medical negligence caused your child’s injury, your family may be entitled to compensation for:
- Past and future medical treatment
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Assistive devices and home modifications
- Special education services
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress of the parents
- Lifetime care needs through a structured settlement or trust
We fight to ensure your family has the financial resources to support your child’s long-term care and development.
