Birth injury claims are some of the most heartbreaking medical malpractice cases because if the baby does not die, he or she often will struggle with permanent, catastrophic disabilities. Their family will struggle as well. Family members frequently must endure psychological, spiritual, financial and even physical battles as they fight to help their loved ones live as normally as possible.
This fight can require significant resources to pay for necessary physical therapy, special education, medical treatment and assistance with activities of daily living. Caregivers are often necessary, sometimes permanently and 24/7. Families also may need resources to provide special accommodations, such as homes and vehicles which are specially modified to accommodate a patient's special needs.

At Sandweg & Ager, in Phoenix, we regularly represent parents and children whose lives have been turned upside down as a result of birth injuries caused by hospitals, doctors, nurses, and other health care providers. Birth injuries result from a variety of causes from the failure to recognize and appropriately manage a high-risk pregnancy, to the failure to appropriately monitor expectant mothers during labor and delivery and recognize or react to signs of fetal distress. These events can result in many different types of birth injuries including:
- Brachial plexus injuries
- Shoulder dystocia
- Cerebral palsy
- Fetal asphyxia
- Birth trauma
