A Cleveland Newborn Anoxic Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help Prove Medical Negligence
When brain cells are deprived of oxygen during labor and delivery, a newborn can suffer permanent disabilities. When our legal team represents you, our birth injury attorneys work hard to understand what caused your child’s resulting brain damage due to lack of oxygen.
To recover damages from the at-fault party, we gather evidence that proves the following elements of medical negligence:
- The healthcare provider owed you a duty of medical care
- The care you received did not meet the accepted medical standard
- The healthcare provider’s breach directly harmed your child
- The breach had adverse financial consequences for your family
Find out how a Cleveland newborn anoxic brain injury lawyer establishes these elements with a robust case file. Get a free consultation with our client-focused team at The Fitch Law Firm LLC now. Call today.
Our Investigation Will Prove the Specific Cause of Your Child’s Birth Injury
Getting to the root of your child’s condition is critical. Neonatal brain damage due to lack of oxygen can have a myriad of causes, including:
- C-section errors or delays
- Difficult birthing position
- Ignored signs of fetal distress
- Misuse of forceps or other tools
- Prolapsed umbilical cord
Potentially life-changing complications of newborn anoxic brain injuries can include:
- Developmental delays: Failure to meet developmental milestones and difficulty meeting educational goals
- Multiple sensory issues: Full or partial hearing or vision loss and difficulty speaking
- Cerebral palsy: Congenital cognitive challenges leading to cognitive and mobility issues
Our client-focused team will work with your healthcare team to document their prognosis and ensure your child’s future medical needs get included in your financial compensation request.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.

Factors that Affect Your Recoverable Damages for Birth-Related Lack of Oxygen
An injury your child suffers at birth can affect their physical and cognitive ability for the rest of their life. The length of their recovery and their prognosis for the future plays a significant role in your recoverable damages.
According to Ohio Revised Code Section 2315.18, state-mandated damage caps can also affect your financial recovery. Our legal team considers all these factors and consults expert economists to understand and optimize your settlement.
Economic Damages for Newborns and Their Families
Medical bills for a birth injury claim start immediately and can continue throughout your child’s lifetime. Our legal team carefully tracks your ongoing medical, therapy, and rehab bills. In addition to these expenses, we also pursue the following economic damages:
- Assistive medical devices your child requires
- Loss of one or more parent’s income
- Necessary modifications to your home or car
- Special education for your son or daughter
We will also pursue wrongful death damages for the loss of a child due to neonatal anoxia. Your family has our deepest condolences and our heartfelt commitment to fight on your behalf while you focus on taking care of each other during this trying time.
Non-Economic Damages We Request on Your Behalf
Your family can also recover non-economic damages for your child’s quality of life, including pain and suffering, mental and emotional anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
We take the state’s damage cap on non-economic damages into consideration and work hard to recover the maximum compensation possible for you.
