Montgomery County Birth Injury Attorney
The birth of a child should bring hope, excitement, and love — not fear, trauma, or heartbreak. Sadly, medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can cause devastating injuries that affect both mother and child for life. When a trusted medical professional’s error leads to a preventable birth injury, families deserve accountability and justice.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Montgomery County birth injury lawyers fight for families whose infants have been harmed due to improper medical care. We understand that these cases are emotionally overwhelming and financially demanding — and we are here to guide you with compassion, skill, and relentless dedication.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Most birth injuries are preventable. They occur when medical providers fail to act according to accepted standards of care during pregnancy or delivery. Common causes include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress or vital signs
- Delayed or improper C-section decisions
- Misuse of forceps or vacuum extraction tools
- Failure to diagnose maternal infections or complications
- Mismanagement of umbilical cord issues or oxygen deprivation
- Overuse or misuse of Pitocin or epidurals
- Negligent prenatal monitoring
Even a brief moment of negligence can result in lifelong consequences for a child.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
Our Montgomery County birth injury attorneys have experience handling cases involving a wide range of severe and permanent injuries, including:
- Cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy
- Brachial plexus injuries and nerve damage
- Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) or brain damage
- Fractures or dislocations during delivery
- Shoulder dystocia injuries
- Developmental delays caused by trauma or oxygen loss
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
These injuries often require lifelong medical care, specialized therapy, and significant financial resources.
Who Is Liable for a Birth Injury?
Multiple parties can be responsible for a preventable birth injury, including:
- Obstetricians (OB/GYNs)
- Delivery room nurses and hospital staff
- Anesthesiologists
- Neonatologists and pediatricians
- Hospitals and birthing centers
At Wilk Law Firm, we work with medical experts and forensic specialists to examine medical records, identify negligence, and build strong cases for families seeking justice.

- Medical expenses and future care needs
- Physical therapy, rehabilitation, and adaptive devices
- Home modifications and accessibility accommodations
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of future earning potential (for the child)
- Wrongful death damages in the most tragic cases
Our attorneys fight to ensure that families receive the financial support they need to secure their child’s future.
