Berks County Birth Injury Attorney
Bringing a child into the world is meant to be a moment of pure joy — but when medical negligence occurs, it can quickly turn into a life-altering tragedy. Birth injuries caused by careless doctors, nurses, or hospitals often lead to permanent disabilities, emotional trauma, and significant financial strain for families.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County birth injury lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of families whose children have been harmed by medical errors. We understand that no amount of money can undo the damage, but we fight to secure the financial resources needed to provide the best possible future for your child.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Medical professionals have a duty to act with precision, care, and attentiveness during pregnancy and delivery. When they fail to do so, preventable harm occurs. Common causes of birth injuries include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress or heart rate
- Improper or delayed C-section decisions
- Incorrect use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to diagnose preeclampsia or gestational diabetes
- Oxygen deprivation or umbilical cord complications
- Improper medication or anesthesia administration
- Negligent prenatal or postnatal care
These mistakes can leave children with lifelong medical conditions that require constant treatment and support.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
The Berks County birth injury attorneys at Wilk Law Firm represent families affected by a wide range of conditions, including:
- Cerebral palsy caused by lack of oxygen or delayed delivery
- Erb’s palsy and brachial plexus injuries
- Hypoxic brain injuries
- Fractures and nerve damage during delivery
- Shoulder dystocia injuries
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Developmental or cognitive delays due to medical error
- Stillbirth or wrongful death resulting from negligence
These injuries often require long-term care, specialized education, therapy, and rehabilitation — all of which can place an enormous financial burden on families.
Who Is Responsible for a Birth Injury?
Determining liability in a birth injury case requires a comprehensive investigation and expert medical review. Potentially responsible parties may include:
- OB/GYNs, nurses, or anesthesiologists
- Labor and delivery teams
- Hospitals or birthing centers
- Medical device or pharmaceutical companies (in cases of defective products)
Our attorneys at Wilk Law Firm collaborate with medical professionals to uncover errors, establish negligence, and pursue justice for affected families.
Compensation in a Birth Injury Case
A successful birth injury claim can provide compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Therapy and rehabilitation costs
- In-home or long-term care
- Assistive devices and adaptive equipment
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Wrongful death damages, if applicable
We pursue the maximum compensation available to ensure that your child’s needs — today and in the future — are fully covered.
