Did a Birth Injury Cause your CP or HIE? Was It Preventable?

Courts across the country have awarded families millions of dollars after hospitals and doctors failed to act in time during labor and delivery. If your child was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy), or brain damage after birth, you may be entitled to significant compensation, and your family deserves answers.

Legal Criteria

Does Your Child’s Story Match?

See If Your Family Qualifies.

To qualify, your child must have been born within the last 10 years and spent at least 7 days in the hospital after birth. The following diagnosed conditions are recognized by the courts:

Cerebral Palsy

A permanent movement disorder caused by brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth, often the result of oxygen deprivation during delivery.

HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy)

A serious brain injury caused by the baby being deprived of oxygen during labor or delivery. HIE affects approximately 2.4 per 1,000 births in the U.S. and is one of the most common causes of newborn brain damage.

Extended NICU or Hospital Stay

Babies who remained hospitalized for 7 days or more following birth are considered to have suffered a serious birth event. A stay of 15 or more days significantly strengthens your claim.

Brain Damage at Birth

Any medically documented brain injury sustained during labor, delivery, or the immediate newborn period due to hospital or physician negligence.

Age requirement: Your child must have been born in 2015 or later.

Diagnosis requirement: Your child must have received a formal diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy, HIE, or brain damage. Autism-only diagnoses do not qualify for this claim.

Legal Criteria

It’s Not Bad Luck.

It’s Negligence.

Most birth injuries are not inevitable; they are preventable. Hospitals and doctors are required to monitor fetal heart rate, respond to signs of distress, and perform emergency C-sections when needed. When they fail to act, babies pay the price.

The Warning Signs

Fetal Distress on the Monitor

Electronic fetal heart rate monitors exist for one reason: to catch signs that a baby is not getting enough oxygen. When medical staff ignore abnormal readings, continue administering Pitocin, or delay intervention, the window to prevent brain damage closes fast.

The Delay 

Failure to Perform a Timely C-Section

In case after case, courts have found that hospitals waited too long to perform an emergency Cesarean section. Minutes matter. Oxygen deprivation during those lost minutes causes the exact brain injuries HIE and Cerebral Palsy that your child may now live with every day.
The Cost

A Lifetime of Care

A child with Cerebral Palsy or HIE will require lifelong medical care, therapy, adaptive equipment, and specialized education. Courts consistently award compensation that accounts for all of it: past expenses, future care, and the profound impact on your family’s life.

Court Verdicts

$1.2 Billion & Counting

Courts Are Holding Hospitals Accountable

$951 Million

In the largest medical malpractice verdict in Utah history, a judge awarded nearly $1 billion to the family of a girl who suffered severe HIE brain damage after Jordan Valley Medical Center staff failed to monitor fetal distress, administered excessive Pitocin, and delayed a C-section while the on-call doctor slept. The judge stated the hospital was “the most dangerous place on the planet” for this child to have been born.

$120 Million

A jury awarded $120 million after a hospital took hours to perform a C-section despite clear signs of fetal oxygen deprivation at 39.5 weeks. The baby suffered asphyxiation at birth, resulting in severe cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and a seizure disorder.

$48.1 Million

A St. Louis County jury returned the largest medical malpractice verdict in Missouri history after a mother, herself a nurse at Mercy Hospital, endured more than 12 hours of pushing through documented fetal distress signals. The OB delayed intervention and failed to order a timely C-section. The verdict included $20 million in punitive damages.

$40 Million

A Coles County jury deliberated for less than three hours before awarding $40 million, the largest birth injury verdict in Illinois history outside Cook County, after a hospital failed to perform an emergency C-section when a mother presented with a placental abruption at 40 weeks. The child developed Cerebral Palsy, seizures, and permanent developmental delays.

$18 Million

Settled on the final day of a three-week trial, this Chicago-area hospital case involved a first-time mother at 40 weeks whose baby suffered HIE and was later diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy after staff failed to perform a timely C-section.

$17.1 Million

A jury awarded $17.1 million to parents whose infant died nine months after birth from catastrophic brain injuries sustained during delivery. The mother had been diagnosed with gestational hypertension and preeclampsia; the medical team failed to intervene despite abnormal fetal monitoring.
