Compensation Available in a Birth Asphyxia Case
The compensation you could recover in a birth asphyxia case will depend on your baby’s injuries and how those injuries impact their life.
These damages may include:
- Medical expenses: For emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgery, rehabilitation, medication, and all other medical costs required to treat your baby’s injuries.
- Future medical expenses: If your child still requires treatment for their injuries when you file your lawsuit, your family can request future costs of medical treatment as well.
- Loss of income: If you or your spouse must miss work or leave your job entirely to care for your child’s injuries.
- Disability: If your child’s injuries will permanently limit their mental or physical abilities.
- Pain and suffering: If your child’s injuries cause them severe discomfort or pain.
There could be other types of damages that you can claim in your medical malpractice case.

How a Birth Asphyxia Lawyer Can Support You
When you hire the Birth Injury Lawyers Group, we will assign a Tempe birth asphyxia lawyer to your case. You will always have control over your case and important decisions regarding its outcome during our representation.
You can expect the following services when working with our firm.
Legal Support
Your lawyer will help you understand Arizona’s medical malpractice laws and your rights at every stage of your case. They will also detail your options and give you legal advice. Our firm will always be accessible to answer your questions and give you updates as your case progresses.
Communication Management
As your representative, your lawyer can speak on your behalf with the medical providers involved in your case and their insurance agents or lawyers.
Case Building
Your lawyer will set out to build an evidence-based case that proves:
- How medical malpractice caused your child’s injuries.
- The extent and value of your damages.
Per AZ Rev Stat (ARS) §12-2602, medical malpractice cases in Arizona typically require third-party medical expert testimony about how the care the victim received fell below the professional standard. We can obtain such testimony for you.
Paperwork Management
The Birth Injury Lawyers Group will take care of all the paperwork in your case. This service includes filing both your insurance claim and medical malpractice lawsuit.
We will also help you review documents and understand the full extent of any paperwork you need to sign.
Negotiations and Trial Management
The Birth Injury Lawyers Group will work hard to convince the responsible party’s insurance company to settle your case for a fair amount. If they refuse to do so, we can take your case to trial and present our evidence to a judge or jury instead.
Note that we will present any settlement offers we receive during negotiations directly to you. You retain the right to accept or reject them.
Contingency Fee Representation
The Birth Injury Lawyers Group works for a contingency fee, which is a predetermined percentage of your settlement or court award. If we cannot help you win your case, you won’t owe us attorney’s fees.
