If a doctor's negligence during pregnancy, labor or delivery results in birth injuries to a child, the life of the entire family will never be the same.

Families in this situation deserve to be compensated.

Our opponents see this track record, so they know that we are willing and able to litigate successfully. This often makes defendants more willing to negotiate an acceptable settlement early on in the process.
Birthing Room Errors | Iowa Birth Injuries
Cerebral palsy can be caused during pregnancy, labor and birth, or during the earliest days of a child's life. Some of the most common situations that lead to cerebral palsy during labor and birth include:
- Reduced blood flow: Reduced blood flow is a common cause of CP at birth. A doctor should closely observe the fetal monitoring strip during contractions to make sure the child is getting adequate blood supply and maintaining a good heart rate.
- Lack of oxygen: Similar to reduced blood flow, lack of adequate oxygen can lead to cerebral palsy. Improper fetal monitoring during labor is often the direct cause of these injuries. In most birth injury cerebral palsy cases involving lack of oxygen, if the doctor would have monitored the situation properly, emergency procedures could have prevented the cerebral palsy.
- Physical stress: Cesarean delivery, the use of forceps and vacuum extraction methods cause fetal distress to the child's developing brain, leading to cerebral palsy.
