In purely clinical terms, “birth trauma” and “birth injury” refer to the variety of injuries that can occur just before, during or immediately following birth.

In human terms, they mean something else entirely. Because the results of birth trauma injuries are devastating to families, both emotionally and financially, the law seeks to protect victims.

At Karp and Hart we understand both the medical and human aspects of birth-related injury cases. We have a passion for this work, and we have extensive experience and success with these cases. Pregnancy complications and the various types of birth injury claims our attorneys handle include:

Cerebral Palsy
C-Section Mistakes
