How We Help Families Affected by Birth Injuries
Our experienced legal team represents families in Winston-Salem and across North Carolina in birth injury cases. We understand the complexities of medical malpractice law and have the resources to investigate and build strong cases against responsible parties.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can result from a range of medical errors, including improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors, failure to monitor fetal distress, or delayed C-sections. Some of the most common birth injuries we handle include:
- Cerebral Palsy – Often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth, leading to lifelong movement and developmental challenges.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb’s Palsy) – Damage to the network of nerves controlling the arm, frequently due to excessive pulling during delivery.
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) – A serious brain injury caused by insufficient oxygen or blood flow to the baby’s brain.
- Facial Paralysis – Can occur when excessive pressure is applied to the baby’s face with forceps or during delivery.
- Fractures – Clavicle and skull fractures can result from mishandled deliveries or failure to address complications properly.
Proving Medical Negligence in Birth Injury Cases
To successfully prove a birth injury claim, we must establish that medical negligence occurred. This involves demonstrating that:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed, establishing a duty of care.
- The medical provider failed to uphold the standard of care expected in similar situations.
- The breach of care directly resulted in the birth injury.
- The child and family suffered damages as a result.
We work with medical experts to analyze medical records, identify errors, and build compelling cases to secure the justice and financial support families deserve.
Compensation for Birth Injury Victims
Families affected by birth injuries often face significant expenses for ongoing medical care, therapy, and assistive devices. A successful claim can help cover:
- Medical treatments and surgeries
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Special education and adaptive equipment
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of future earning potential for the child
Our firm fights aggressively to maximize compensation, ensuring families can provide the best possible care for their children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How long do I have to file a birth injury lawsuit in North Carolina?
North Carolina has a statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, generally requiring claims to be filed within three years of the injury. However, special rules apply to birth injury cases, allowing claims to be filed up until the child’s 10th birthday in certain circumstances. It’s crucial to consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time.
2. What if my child’s birth injury was not immediately diagnosed?
Some birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy or developmental delays, may not become apparent until months or years later. If you suspect medical negligence played a role, we can review medical records and consult with experts to determine whether you have a valid case.
3. How much does it cost to hire a birth injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. Our fees are only collected if we secure compensation for your family. This allows families to pursue justice without financial risk.
4. What types of compensation can we recover?
Compensation can include medical expenses, therapy costs, special education needs, pain and suffering, and lost future earnings. Each case is unique, and we work diligently to maximize the recovery for every family.
5. Will my case go to trial?
Many birth injury cases settle outside of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If a fair settlement is not offered, we are fully prepared to present a strong case in court to fight for the compensation you deserv
