Texas Birth Injury Attorney

Protecting Families When Medical Mistakes Harm New Life

The birth of a child should be filled with happiness—not fear or uncertainty. Sadly, when medical professionals make avoidable errors during labour or delivery, the outcome can be devastating. Our licensed birth injury attorney Dallas stands beside families whose lives have been forever changed by negligence.

Understanding Birth Injuries and Medical Negligence

Birth injuries occur when a healthcare provider’s mistake causes harm to a mother or baby during pregnancy, labour, or delivery. These injuries often result from delayed responses, improper monitoring, or misuse of medical instruments.

Common Causes of Birth Injuries

Delayed C-section despite fetal distress
Misuse of forceps or vacuum extraction
Failure to monitor oxygen levels
Medication or anaesthesia errors
Prolonged or obstructed labour
Inadequate response to umbilical cord issues
Improper tool use

What is a Preventable Birth Injury?

Not all birth injuries are the result of malpractice. However, many devastating, lifelong conditions are the direct result of a doctor, nurse, or hospital failing to follow the accepted standard of medical care.

Our entire practice is dedicated to distinguishing between an unavoidable complication and medical negligence. We investigate the medical records to find the truth.

The Texas Statute of Limitations for Minors

For medical malpractice cases in Texas, the general rule is a two-year deadline. However, birth injury cases involving a minor are subject to special, complex rules.

FAQs

1. How do I know if my baby’s injury was caused by medical negligence?
Only a detailed medical review can confirm that. We consult independent experts to determine if your provider’s care fell below accepted medical standards.

2. What is the time limit for filing a birth injury lawsuit in Texas?
Generally, parents have two years from the date of injury, but exceptions may apply if the injury was discovered later or involves a minor.

3. Can I file a case even if the hospital said it was a “natural complication”?
Yes. Many hospitals misclassify preventable injuries as unavoidable complications. A legal investigation can reveal whether negligence played a role.

4. Will I need to go to court?
Not always. Many birth injury cases settle out of court once we present strong medical evidence—but we’re always ready to take your case to trial if needed.

5. How much compensation can families receive?
Every case is different, but we fight for compensation that covers medical expenses, therapy, lost earnings, and your child’s lifelong care needs.
