Giving birth is supposed to be one of the most treasured moments in life, and is definitely the most anticipated day for soon-to-be parents. Unfortunately, there are times when the unimaginable happens, and instead of celebrating bringing a new life into the world, you’re left devastated by your baby suffering a birth injury.
Your baby deserves the absolute best medical care, yet medical negligence from doctors and other medical professionals is far too common, leading to birth injuries and wrongful death.

Shea Law Group provides free consultations and your legal representation will cost you nothing unless we win your case and earn you compensation for your birth injury case.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can occur during your pregnancy, labor and delivery, or after the baby is born. There are many different types of birth injuries, however the most common fall under the anoxic/hypoxic injuries (brain injury) or physical trauma.
Other common forms of birth injury include
- Brachial Plexus Palsy
- Cerebral Palsy
- Cephalohematoma
- Nerve Paralysis
