The birth of your child should be a moment of joy, not the start of a lifetime of medical challenges. If a doctor, nurse, or hospital in Warner Robins, Perry, or Houston County failed to follow proper medical procedures during labor and delivery, your family may be entitled to compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we help parents hold medical professionals accountable for preventable birth injuries. We fight for the resources your child needs today and in the years to come.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is physical damage caused to a newborn during labor, delivery, or shortly after birth. Some injuries are temporary. Others result in permanent disability or long-term care needs.
We handle birth injury cases involving:
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial plexus injuries (Erb’s palsy)
- Brain damage due to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Facial nerve damage
- Skull fractures and bleeding in the brain
- Shoulder dystocia and delivery trauma
We work with medical experts to uncover what went wrong, and who is responsible.
How Medical Negligence Causes Birth Injuries
Doctors and delivery staff are trained to monitor for warning signs and respond to complications. When they fail to act, or act too late infants can suffer serious and preventable injuries.
Examples of medical negligence include:
- Failing to perform a timely C-section
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum tools
- Misreading fetal distress signals
- Failure to diagnose maternal infections or conditions
- Administering the wrong medications during labor
Our team reviews medical records, consults OB/GYN specialists, and builds a strong case for accountability.
Who Can File a Birth Injury Lawsuit?
In Georgia, a birth injury claim can be filed by the parents or legal guardians of the child. The compensation may help pay for the child’s care and support the emotional and financial recovery of the family.
A birth injury lawsuit may recover:
- Medical expenses (immediate and future)
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- In-home care and special education needs
- Loss of future earning capacity (for the child)
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress (for the parents)
- Lifelong care planning
We help families pursue full compensation for the lifelong impacts of a preventable birth injury.
