Milton Birth Injury Lawyers

The birth of a child is a momentous occasion, a time for celebration and hope. But for some families, this joy is tragically cut short by a preventable birth injury. For families in Milton, from the communities near the Niagara Escarpment to the growing neighbourhoods around the Mattamy National Cycling Centre, the realization that your newborn was harmed due to a medical error is a profound shock. The aftermath can involve lifelong challenges, including permanent disabilities and staggering financial costs.

When a birth injury occurs, you are left with questions and deserve answers. Investigating whether medical negligence was the root cause is a complex task that requires specialized legal and medical expertise. An experienced Milton birth injury lawyer can offer the guidance and support your family needs. At Gluckstein Lawyers, our team has a deep understanding of birth injury litigation and is committed to helping families across Ontario navigate these difficult claims.

What Qualifies as a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is any harm a baby suffers before, during, or just after delivery. While some complications are unpreventable, many devastating injuries are the direct result of mistakes made by healthcare professionals or a failure to provide an acceptable standard of care.

Common causes leading to birth injury claims include:

• Failure to act on signs of fetal distress in a timely manner.
• Delayed C-sections in emergency scenarios.
• Incorrect use of delivery instruments like forceps or  vacuums. 
• Oxygen deprivation (asphyxia) during a complicated labour.
• Mismanagement of a difficult or prolonged birth process.

Types of Birth Injury Cases We Litigate.

Our legal team is proficient in handling a wide spectrum of birth injury cases. A significant number of these involve brain damage from oxygen or blood flow disruption, which can lead to permanent conditions like Cerebral Palsy. This diagnosis often means a lifetime of necessary care, therapy, and support.

Other birth injury cases we represent include:

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