Hamilton Birth Injury Lawyers

Hamilton is a city with a rich industrial history, scenic waterfronts, and vibrant parks. But for some families, the excitement of welcoming a new child at Hamilton hospitals can be unexpectedly clouded by the trauma of a birth injury. 

If your newborn was hurt before, during, or after delivery, you may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and searching for support. Our team of experienced and compassionate birth injury lawyers at Gluckstein Lawyers is here to help you understand your options and fight for your child’s future. 

What is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury happens when an infant suffers harm that could be temporary or permanent. While some complications arise naturally, others occur because of avoidable mistakes or negligence in the delivery room. Recognizing the difference is crucial for Hamilton families seeking closure and compensation.

Typical causes of preventable birth injuries:

• Missed or delayed response to signs of fetal distress
• Waiting too long to perform a necessary emergency
• C-section Improper use of tools such as forceps or a vacuum extractor
• Oxygen loss (asphyxia) during the birthing process
• Mismanaging complications during a challenging labour

When these or similar errors happen, the risk of lifelong conditions like Cerebral Palsy, brachial plexus injuries (including Erb’s palsy), or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) increases. These conditions often mean ongoing medical expenses, therapies, and adaptive needs.
