All any parent wants is for their child to be born healthy and have the same chance as everyone else. A birth injury can prevent a child from reaching their full potential.

At the Manhattan law offices of Keogh Crispi, P.C., we protect the rights of parents whose children have suffered serious birth injuries.
Birth injuries can happen for all types of reasons. It could be the result of a prenatal condition that your doctor failed to diagnose. It is quite common for infants to be deprived of oxygen during the birth process. However, if the hospital administers too much oxygen, it could lead to pressure in the blood sockets of your child's eyes, causing blindness.
With over forty years of personal injury and medical malpractice experience, our lawyers are prepared to handle a wide range of birth injury malpractice claims, including:
- Brain damage: Brain injuries are often the result of a lack of oxygen during birth.
- Fetal distress: When diagnosed ahead of time, potential complications can be avoided with a c-section.
- Erb's palsy: The failure to properly handle a baby's limbs during childbirth can lead to shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy or even paralysis.
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial plexus injuries
Birth injuries can also lead to fatalities. If you have lost a child during delivery or childbirth, you want answers.
