Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a birth injury?
A birth injury occurs when negligent medical care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery causes harm to the infant or mother. This includes brain injuries from lack of oxygen, nerve damage, or untreated complications.
Can birth injuries be lifelong?
Yes. Many children with cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or brain damage require lifelong care. These conditions often come with significant medical and financial challenges for families.
Who can be held liable for a birth injury?
Doctors, nurses, and hospitals may all be responsible. Liability often depends on whether providers recognized complications early enough and took proper action.
What compensation can families recover?
Families may pursue damages for medical expenses, long-term care costs, therapy, adaptive equipment, and emotional suffering. Wrongful death damages may also apply in the most tragic cases.
How long do families have to act in Arizona?
Birth injury claims are generally subject to Arizona’s two-year statute of limitations, but discovery rules may extend deadlines when the injury is not immediately apparent. Early action is crucial to protect evidence.
