The birth of a child should be a moment of joy—not a lifelong medical crisis. If a doctor, nurse, or hospital in Savannah, Pooler, or Chatham County made a preventable mistake during delivery that left your child seriously injured, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent families devastated by birth injuries. We hold negligent medical providers accountable and fight for the financial resources your child will need now and in the future.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is physical harm to a newborn that occurs before, during, or shortly after delivery. Some are temporary. Others lead to permanent disabilities and lifelong care needs.
We handle birth injury cases involving:
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial plexus injuries (Erb’s palsy)
- Brain damage from oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)
- Skull fractures or brain bleeds
- Facial nerve damage
- Spinal cord injuries
- Shoulder dystocia and delivery trauma
If your child was injured during birth and now requires ongoing medical care or special support, we’ll help you uncover the truth and fight for justice.
How Medical Negligence Leads to Birth Injuries
Doctors and delivery teams are trained to recognize and respond to complications. When they fail to act—or act too late—serious injuries can occur.
Examples of negligence include:
- Delaying an emergency C-section
- Misreading fetal heart rate monitors
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to treat infection or maternal distress
- Administering incorrect medication during labor
We work with medical experts to identify errors and build a strong claim on your child’s behalf.
Who Can File a Birth Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?
A birth injury lawsuit is typically filed by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the child. In some cases, parents may also seek damages for emotional distress and financial loss.
Compensation may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Physical and occupational therapy
- In-home care and special education
- Loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Funeral expenses (in fatal injury cases)
We pursue every available source of compensation to ensure your child’s care is fully funded.
Why Birth Injury Cases Are Complex
These cases require:
- Thorough review of prenatal and delivery records
- Testimony from OB/GYN and pediatric experts
- Long-term care projections and financial planning
- Experience dealing with hospital legal teams and insurers
At Ted Law Firm, we take on the full legal burden—so your family can focus on your child.
