Learning your child suffered a birth injury can be quite a shock. It’s even worse when it could have been prevented. Doctors and nurses can make a mistake that lasts the rest of your child’s life, and they could make you pay for their error unless you get legal help.
Turn to the trusted members of the Birth Injury Lawyers Group. We can put you in touch with a lawyer in Surprise, AZ, who can help you find out if medical malpractice harmed your baby. If it did, we will seek justice and compensation on behalf of you and your child.
Are All Birth Injuries Caused By Medical Malpractice?
There is a multitude of different birth injuries. Not all of them can be prevented or cured, and not all of them are the fault of medical malpractice. So one of the first things your lawyer will do before taking your case on is find out if your situation seems like a medical malpractice case.
There are two things we will look for. The first is whether someone who cared for you broke the standards of care set for their job. Doctors, nurses, techs, and other members of the medical profession all have standards they must meet to practice medicine safely. If they break the standards, they’ve committed a negligent act.
The second thing is to determine if their negligent act caused your child’s injury. It could be a direct cause, like a doctor using forceps too strongly and pinching a child’s nerves, or it can be indirect, like forgetting to run a test or make a note in a medical record. If we believe we can prove both, then we can take your case.

How a Birth Injury Attorney Will Help You
Malpractice insurers are skilled at fighting off claims from victims. They have huge teams of lawyers to help them do it. You need someone on your side who can help you fight toe-to-toe with them. That someone is an attorney from the Birth Injury Lawyers Group.
Our birth injury lawyers in Surprise, AZ, can move your lawsuit forward and fight for fair compensation while you care for your child. Here are a few of the things we’ll do for you:
- Give you legal advice on how to protect yourself and your claim
- Keep you updated on the course of your case
- Gather evidence to prove medical malpractice caused your child’s injury
- Speak with expert medical witnesses to learn what went wrong and what may have prevented the injury
- Calculate the complete costs of your damages, which may be far more than you expect
- Fight the insurers to get a fair settlement amount for your claim
- Take the fight to court to let a judge and jury decide if the insurers refuse to negotiate
- Give you the space to take care of your injured child and the confidence that someone is in your corner fighting to pay for their care
Trying to win a malpractice lawsuit on your own is incredibly difficult. Medical professionals have strong liability protections because medicine is an imperfect science. You need someone on your team that knows how to overcome this by showing how your baby’s injuries were done by someone who went beyond the standards of care. We’re the team to call.

When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
As soon as your child has been diagnosed with a birth injury, that’s the time to contact one of our birth injury attorneys. Swift action will help your claim because we can force doctors and hospitals to preserve evidence needed for your case. It will also be much easier for witnesses to remember what happened.
Also, by starting early, you will get compensation sooner. It’s probable that you’re already facing huge medical bills to pay for your child’s care if you’re reading this page. The sooner you start, the sooner you can get paid.
Finally, starting early gives your lawyer enough time to prepare a case before the statute of limitations runs out on your child’s lawsuit. This is a deadline to file a lawsuit. In Arizona, the deadline is two years from the date of the injury.
