Brampton Birth Injury Lawyers

The birth of a child should be a time of profound joy for your family. But when a preventable injury occurs during childbirth, that joy can be replaced by trauma, confusion, and fear. For families across Brampton, from the vibrant downtown near Gage Park to the growing communities in the city's north end, discovering your child has been harmed by a medical error is a devastating blow. The consequences can be lifelong, leading to permanent disabilities and overwhelming financial strain. If your child was injured at birth, you deserve to know what happened and why. 

Determining if medical negligence was the cause is a complex process that requires professional support. An experienced Brampton birth injury lawyer can provide the guidance and clarity your family needs. Gluckstein Lawyers has a dedicated team with a proven track record of handling complex birth injury claims, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

What is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is any harm a baby sustains before, during, or shortly after the delivery process. While some birth complications are unavoidable, many severe injuries are the direct result of medical mistakes or a failure to provide the accepted standard of care.

Common causes of preventable birth injuries include: 

• Mismanagement of a prolonged or difficult labour
• Failure to monitor and respond to signs of fetal distress
• Delayed emergency C-sections
• Improper use of delivery instruments like forceps or vacuums
• Oxygen deprivation (asphyxia) during delivery

Types of Birth Injury Cases We Handle.

Our legal team is experienced in a wide range of birth injury cases. Many of these claims involve brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen or blood flow to the infant's brain. This can result in permanent conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, which demands a lifetime of specialized care and support.

Other types of birth injuries our firm handles include:

• Brachial plexus injuries like Erb's Palsy
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) 
• Neonatal and fetal stroke
• Seizure disorders
• Spinal cord damage
• Nerve damage and bone fractures
