Mississauga Birth Injury Lawyers

Welcoming a new baby should be a time of celebration for your family. However, when a preventable injury occurs during childbirth, that celebration can be overshadowed by trauma and uncertainty. For families across Mississauga, from the bustling city centre near Square One to the peaceful streets of Port Credit, the discovery of a birth injury is a devastating blow. The consequences can be severe, often leading to lifelong disabilities and overwhelming medical costs.

If your child suffered an injury during birth, you deserve to know what happened. Uncovering whether medical negligence played a role is a complex process that requires professional support. An experienced Mississauga birth injury lawyer can provide the guidance and clarity your family needs. Gluckstein Lawyers has a proven track record of handling complex birth injury claims throughout Ontario, and our team is here to support you.

What Constitutes a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is defined as any harm a baby sustains before, during, or shortly after the delivery process. While some birth complications are unavoidable, many injuries are the direct result of medical errors or negligence.

Common causes of preventable birth injuries include:

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

Types of Birth Injury Cases We Handle.

Our legal team is experienced in a broad range of birth injury cases. A significant number of these injuries 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
