Commonly Reported Causes of Lack of Oxygen in West Carrollton Newborns
When our accident lawyers accept your case, we listen to your recounting of your baby’s birth with compassion and kindness. We also investigate the birth to understand the cause of the lack of oxygen and identify the negligent party. Common causes of anoxia include the following:
- Placental abruption
- Umbilical cord issues
- Maternal health issues
- Significant prematurity
- Improper use of forceps during delivery
- Errors regarding a cesarean delivery
The injuries a lack of oxygen will have on a newborn can lead to disabilities and impairments such as the following:
- Cerebral palsy
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
- Epilepsy
- Cognitive and learning difficulties
- Speech and language impairment
- Developmental delays
The cost of therapy and ongoing medical care for a newborn’s traumatic brain injury can be astronomical for most families. A West Carrollton personal injury lawyer will seek the compensation your family and child will need for their future healthcare.

How a West Carrollton Newborn Anoxic Brain Injury Attorney Proves Liability
Proving medical negligence caused your child’s current condition, our personal injury investigation will identify the four components of negligence:
- Duty of care: The obligation to meet the acceptable standard of care
- Breach of duty: The medical provider’s failure to meet their legal duty
- Causation: Evidence that the breach directly caused the baby’s lack of oxygen
- Damages: The financial aftermath caused by the at-fault party’s actions
Proving these elements is key to pursuing damages. Your case will require an affidavit of merit from a qualified medical expert. We will consult with our team of medical experts and obtain one for you.
Evidence We Collect to Prove the Cause of Your Child’s Brain Injury
To prove the validity of your claim and seek a fair and appropriate settlement, we collect evidence that includes:
- Detailed medical records
- Fetal monitoring results
- Medical expert testimonies
- Witness statements
- Neurological test results
- APGAR score results
The case file we build for you will identify the at-fault party or parties and document the monetary value of your recoverable damages.
