Birth Injuries


The birth of a baby is one of life’s greatest joys. That’s why nothing is more heartbreaking to parents than having their child born with a birth injury, especially when it is due to medical malpractice. Unfortunately, many of these babies may have significant and permanent health issues and require highly specialized care for the rest of their lives.

Birth injuries are wide-ranging and can occur at any stage of the baby’s early life. Some happen during pregnancy, while others occur during labor, and others still in the immediate post-birth period. Birth injury lawsuits arise when babies are injured by the careless and negligent acts or omissions of a doctor, nurse, hospital or other healthcare provider.

If your baby suffered an injury at birth, and you think it could have been avoided, don’t delay. Contact experienced central Illinois birth injury attorney James P. LeFante to discuss the possibility of filing a medical negligence or malpractice lawsuit against the health professional or institution where the birth took place. Financial compensation for a birth injury can give your child the very best medical care now and into the future.

  • Cerebral palsy and brain damage
  • Breech birth complications
  • Birth hypoxia and brain damage

  • Injury caused by vacuum extraction
  • Injury caused by failure to perform a timely Cesarean
  • Brachial plexus injuries
  • Erb’s palsy
  • Fetal death occurring before or during birth
  • Death or trauma related to incorrect medication dosage

Injuries suffered at birth can be severe and life-altering for both the child and the mother. You may be entitled to settlement to compensate for a mistake. We know that your immediate goals are to get your medical bills paid, and make sure your insurance company will pay for future treatment relating to your child’s injury.

Highly Recommend for Personal Injury/Workers’ Compensation Claims

Mr. LeFante took my personal injury case and although my claim was not a big one, it was important to me. As my attorney, he fought hard for me because though my claim was relatively small, it was still important. I was treated very well not only by Mr. LeFante but by his entire team… Read more “Highly Recommend for Personal Injury/Workers’ Compensation Claims”

Fantastic Legal Team

This is a fantastic legal team. They truly cared about my case, and about me. They are exceptionally great attorneys, and they worked very hard to help me.
