Understanding Birth Asphyxia & Negligence

Birth asphyxia is oxygen deprivation before, during, or shortly after delivery that can injure the brain and other organs, sometimes leading to cerebral palsy, developmental delays, learning issues, or seizures. Not every difficult birth is malpractice, but some cases may involve medical malpractice when the care team fails to properly monitor fetal heart rate, ignores signs of distress, delays a needed C-section, misuses medications affecting contractions, or mishandles a complicated delivery.

Whether a claim exists depends on the medical records and the labor timeline, including whether the care fell below accepted standards and whether that lapse caused the injury. If negligence is proven, damages may include past and future medical care, therapy, assistive devices, home modifications, long-term attendant care, and related financial losses; Colorado cases generally require proof of a breach of reasonable care and causation.

How Do I Know If Birth Asphyxia Was Malpractice?

The only way to know is through a careful review of the facts. We look at medical records, monitoring strips, and the timing of decisions to see whether care met accepted standards. If needed, we may consult qualified professionals and then explain our findings in clear, direct terms.

What Costs Can A Birth Asphyxia Lawsuit Cover?

These cases can potentially address a wide range of costs. Examples may include medical treatment, therapies, assistive equipment, home modifications, and projected future care. In some situations, claims can also seek compensation for reduced earning capacity and the impact on your family’s life. Specific damages depend on each child’s needs.

Will A Lawsuit Affect My Baby’s Medical Care Now?

Filing a claim does not automatically change your child’s current care. Most families continue with their existing doctors and therapists.

How Long Do I Have To Sue For Birth Asphyxia?
