Bucks County Birth Injury Attorney
The birth of a child should be one of the happiest moments of a parent’s life — but when medical professionals act negligently, that joy can quickly turn into heartbreak. Birth injuries caused by medical malpractice often lead to long-term or permanent disabilities, emotional trauma, and financial strain for families.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Bucks County birth injury lawyers represent families whose children have been harmed by preventable medical errors before, during, or shortly after delivery. We understand how devastating these cases are and fight tirelessly to hold negligent doctors, nurses, and hospitals accountable.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries often occur because of mistakes made during labor and delivery — moments when quick, precise medical action is crucial. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress during labor
- Delayed or improper C-section decisions
- Incorrect use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to diagnose or treat maternal infections
- Improper administration of labor-inducing drugs (like Pitocin)
- Oxygen deprivation or umbilical cord complications
- Negligent prenatal care
These errors are not “accidents” — they are preventable acts of negligence that can alter a child’s future forever.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
At Wilk Law Firm, we handle a wide range of birth injury cases in Bucks County, including:
- Cerebral palsy caused by lack of oxygen or delayed delivery
- Erb’s palsy (brachial plexus injury) from shoulder trauma
- Brain damage or intracranial hemorrhage
- Spinal cord or nerve injuries
- Fractures or dislocations during delivery
- Developmental delays due to negligence
- Stillbirth or wrongful death caused by medical malpractice
These injuries often require lifelong care, specialized medical treatment, and financial resources most families cannot manage alone.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Determining who is responsible for a birth injury requires careful investigation and expert testimony. Potentially liable parties include:
- OB/GYNs and delivery doctors
- Nurses, anesthesiologists, and other hospital staff
- Hospitals and birthing centers
- Medical device manufacturers (in cases involving faulty equipment)
Our firm works with medical experts to identify errors, prove negligence, and pursue accountability for every responsible party.
Compensation for Birth Injury Victims
Families impacted by birth injuries may be entitled to significant compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
- Rehabilitation, therapy, and in-home care
- Adaptive equipment and special education
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of future earning potential (for the child)
- Wrongful death damages, in tragic cases
We pursue every available avenue of recovery to ensure families can focus on what matters most — their child’s health and future.
