There are many types of birth injuries that can happen because of a medical mistake. The victims of these mistakes may need a lifetime of medical treatment and therapy. The Birth Injury Lawyers Group fights hard to get families compensation for medical accidents that harm babies.
We’ve been fighting for the rights of families for over 20 years for a wide range of birth injuries, and we’ve helped our clients recover over $750,000,000 in awards and settlements. If you live in Arizona and believe malpractice harmed your child, we urge you to contact our Yuma birth injury lawyers.
How Do I Hold My Doctor Accountable?
Malpractice lawsuits bring money to victims, but they also serve another important purpose. They hold doctors, hospitals, and medical professionals accountable for their actions. A doctor with too many malpractice lawsuits could find themselves without a license.
Proving a doctor committed malpractice requires the help of an experienced malpractice lawyer. Malpractice cases are extremely complex and fact-specific. It’s common for plaintiffs to need the help of expert medical witnesses that can explain what went wrong and what your doctor should have done differently.
To win your case, our Yuma birth injury attorneys have to prove four things. First, that the defendant had a medical relationship with your baby. Second, the defendant made a mistake that broke the standards of care. Third, the breach of the rules caused your baby’s injury. Finally, we must prove how your baby was harmed and how much your case needs to make them whole again.
"If your child was born with a birth injury, or cerebral palsy, we can help."
How Will Your Lawyers Help Me With My Case?
Malpractice insurers almost always pay malpractice claims, and the insurers will do everything they can to prevent you from getting your baby what they’re truly owed – from saying the doctor acted within standards to accusing you of contributing to your baby’s harm.
With a Yuma birth injury lawyer on your side, things change. We know the tactics of the insurance companies and know how to counter them. Our lawyers will handle all communication between the insurers and the defendant so you can focus on caring for your family’s needs.
In addition, our lawyers will:
- Build your case by gathering evidence and speaking with experts
- Calculate the full value of your child’s care, now and in the future
- Fight hard to get you the full value of your claim
- Evaluate settlement offers to see if they are fair
- Take the insurers to court if they refuse to be fair
- Keep you updated on all the changes in your case
- Comply with all legal requirements and deadlines so your case keeps moving forward

ow Much Could I Receive for My Child’s Birth Injury?
Every birth injury case is unique, so we cannot give you an exact number until we look at all the evidence. However, we may give you an estimate during your consultation based on previous cases and any evidence you bring with you, like medical bills.
Some things that will affect your compensation include:
- The type and severity of the birth injury
- The prognosis of the injury
- How much care your child needs to cope with their injury
- How much time you have to take off work to care for your baby.
- The costs of caring for your baby, including specialists, hospitalizations, rehabilitation, medicine, medical devices, and more
- How painful the injury is to your baby, and how it will affect their quality of life in the future
For some permanent birth injuries, like cerebral palsy, a settlement can reach six or seven figures if we can prove a strong malpractice case. The best way to determine how much your case is worth is to speak with our birth injury attorneys in Yuma.

What Birth Injury Types Do You Regularly See?
There are many types of birth injuries that malpractice could cause. Some are minor, and some are life-threatening. Most parents seek the help of a birth injury lawyer when the costs of a child’s care are so great or the act of malpractice is so egregious that they need legal help.
Common birth injury types we see in our clients include:
- Brain injuries
- Spina bifida complications
- Seizure conditions
- Cerebral palsy
- Birth asphyxia
- Undiagnosed birth injuries that created injuries later
- Bone fractures
This is not an exhaustive list of case types our birth injury attorneys in Yuma take. Even if your condition is rare or the damage is small, we can still help you find out if malpractice was the source. If it was, you and your baby deserve to get compensated for what happened.
"Our Birth Injury Lawyers have recovered over $750+ Million on behalf of our clients."
How Will I Pay for Your Services?
Our birth injury attorneys work for free for their clients until they successfully win the case. All of their compensation will come from your final settlement or award. Everyone should get access to legal representation when they’re a victim of someone else, and this is the fairest way to do it.
During the initial free consultation, we’ll assess your chances of success and the value of your case based on experience and whatever evidence you have. If we feel your case is too weak, we will say so and explain why.
How much they will receive depends on the complexity of your case, but it is always a reasonable percentage of the final total. Any lawyer worth your time can justify their fees to you and explain how their services will help you get more money than making a claim on your own. You deserve an honest answer, and we will give you one.
