Understanding Birth Injury Claims in Ohio
Bringing a child into the world is supposed to be one of life’s most hopeful moments. But when something goes wrong due to medical negligence during labor or delivery, that hope can be replaced with fear and heartbreak.
At The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm, LLC, we work with Ohio families facing the consequences of birth injuries. We’re here to help you understand your rights—and what comes next.
What Causes Birth Injuries?
Birth injuries can result from medical mistakes made before, during, or just after delivery. Some common causes include:
- Delayed C-section when fetal distress is clear
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to monitor or respond to oxygen deprivation
- Poor fetal monitoring or misread test results
Conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or permanent brain damage often arise from these avoidable errors.
Building a Case with Skolnick Law
Our legal team has handled many birth injury cases across Ohio. We carefully review medical records, delivery room decisions, and hospital protocols. We also work closely with medical professionals to help identify whether negligent care played a role in your child’s condition.
We’ve recovered life-changing verdicts and settlements, including $8.5 million for a child with cerebral palsy caused by substandard care at a Cleveland hospital.
Why Legal Support Matters
Medical malpractice cases in Ohio are complex. Deadlines, medical documentation, and state statutes—such as Ohio Revised Code 2305.113—all impact your right to pursue a claim. Having a knowledgeable attorney who understands both the law and the emotional weight of your case can make all the difference.
