A birth injury is any type of harm or injury that a child suffers right before, during, or after they are born — typically during the labor and delivery process.
Birth injuries are often the result of preventable medical errors caused by a health care professional. This is known as medical malpractice.
Shoulder dystocia (when one or both of the baby’s shoulders get stuck in the mother’s pelvis during delivery)
Skull fractures or bone fractures
Spinal cord injuries
Stillbirths and death
Umbilical cord strangulation
While some birth injuries may heal completely, others may call for lifelong medical care.
If you believe your child’s birth injury was caused by medical malpractice, a Georgia birth injury lawyer may be able to help you hold negligent health care providers accountable for the harm they caused.
Birth injuries can often be avoided with proper medical care — but if a medical professional makes a careless mistake during the birthing process, the baby and their family suffer as a result.
Common medical mistakes that may lead to birth injuries include:
Excessive force during delivery
Failure to properly assess risk factors beforehand
Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
Misdiagnosis or failure to recognize a serious medical condition
Sokolove Law has nurses on staff who can help you understand your child’s injury and if malpractice or negligence may be to blame.

Steps to File a Birth Injury Lawsuit in Georgia
Compensation from a birth injury lawsuit can help cover the cost of your child’s treatments and improve their overall quality of life.
If you have a case, our Georgia birth injury lawyers will handle every step of the legal process for you, so you can focus on your child’s well-being.
1. Contact Sokolove Law
Reach out to Sokolove Law and receive a free case review to determine if you may be eligible to file a Georgia birth injury claim.
During this time, we’ll ask you a few questions about your child’s injury, so we can better understand the specifics of your situation.
2. We’ll Gather Evidence of Malpractice
If you have a case, we’ll collect medical records, testimonials from experts, test results, and anything else needed to show that your child’s birth injury was preventable.
We also have a team of registered nurses on staff that can help make sense of what may have happened to your child.
3. We’ll File Your Georgia Birth Injury Claim
Your Georgia birth injury lawsuit must be filed within the statute of limitations, which are a set of laws limiting how long you have to file a claim.
Once these deadlines pass, you won’t be able to file a claim or pursue compensation for your child’s injury ever again.
Contact Sokolove Law as soon as possible in order to ensure that your claim is filed on time.
4. We’ll Negotiate Birth Injury Settlements on Your Behalf
Our attorneys will negotiate a Georgia birth injury settlement with the defendant(s), which would be the hospital or medical professionals responsible for your child’s birth injury.
The majority of cases end in a settlement, which means you may not have to step foot in court.
If a settlement is unable to be reached, our birth injury lawyers are prepared to present your case in a trial and fight for a verdict on your behalf.
