Frequently Reported Causes of Oxygen Deprivation During Labor and Delivery
Mothers and babies require continual monitoring throughout pregnancy and during delivery. Failure to properly monitor and respond to fetal distress could lead to loss of oxygen and severe injuries for the child.
Common causes that could lead to newborn anoxia include:
- Delayed C-section delivery
- Anesthesia errors
- Abnormal birth positions and umbilical problems
- Improper use of forceps during delivery
- High-risk pregnancy
This list is far from exhaustive, so we thoroughly investigate the precise cause of your child’s condition and the evidence we need for your medical malpractice lawsuit. Contact our Huber Heights personal injury lawyer today at The Fitch Law Firm LLC to arrange a free case consultation.

Financial Compensation a Huber Heights Newborn Anoxic Attorney Pursues
Damages you can recover for medical malpractice claims should include all the costs of your child’s current and future medical care. In addition, our birth injury lawyers request compensation for the needs your child will have in the future.
Economic damages we request for you can include:
- Loss of parental income when caring for your child prevents you from working
- In-home medical support, assistive medical devices, medications, and rehab

However, you should be aware that state-mandated damage caps could limit your non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and mental and emotional trauma.

How We Know Who to Pursue for Compensation Due to Medical Negligence
With a more than 30-year track record of handling personal injury claims, our medical malpractice attorneys know how to build a strong case file. The evidence we collect—medical records (yours and the baby’s), witness statements, and more—can prove the required elements of negligence.
Establishing these elements—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages—includes identifying the at-fault party or parties, including doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. The at-fault party could also include the hospital, birthing center, or other medical facility where the delivery occurred.
