Let Us Handle Your Levittown Birth Injury Case
If you or your baby sustained injuries due to medical malpractice during childbirth, you deserve compensation.
Possible complications related to birth injuries include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal cord injury
- Bell’s palsy
- Hypoxia / Anoxia
- Bone fractures
- Erb’s palsy
- Shoulder dystocia
- Encephalopathy
- Brain damage
Babies may also experience cognitive or developmental impairment, behavioral problems, neurological challenges, seizures, and deficits in executive function.
Birth injury can result from errors made by obstetricians, nurses, and other practitioners involved in the childbirth process. As a result, your baby may need medical treatment and personal care throughout their life. Many babies who sustain injuries during childbirth may require the following:
- Speech therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Feeding therapy
- Physical therapy
- Assistive care
- Accessibility modifications in the home
Some children require full-time care. In almost all cases this leads to enormous financial strain for the parents. Sometimes circumstances require at least one parent to quit their job. In such situations, the work-circumstances of the parent that continues to work are likely to be dramatically affected as well. It is not unusual for the overwhelming economic and emotional burden to disrupt every aspect of life for a family that experiences a birth injury.
A Levittown birth injury lawyer at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will advocate for you and fight to obtain the justice you and your baby deserve. We build the most persuasive case possible, to help you recover the maximum amount of compensation for the damages that your child and you have suffered. Call us today to get started: 516-932-0400.

Demonstrating Liability in a Birth Injury Case
Our legal team begins by investigating the circumstances of the birth injury.

Duty of care: The medical provider owed you or your baby a duty to provide an accepted level of care.
Breach of duty: The medical provider did not provide a good and accepted level of care for you and your unborn child.
Causation: Through negligence or wrongful acts, the medical provider caused your or your baby’s injuries.
Damages: You suffered financial, physical, or emotional damages.
To demonstrate liability, we may use the following:
- Medical records

- Facility history
- Witness statements
