Understanding Birth Injuries
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury occurs when something goes wrong during labor or delivery, often due to medical negligence. Unlike genetic birth defects, these injuries are typically preventable and result from substandard care.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
- Cerebral Palsy – Caused by oxygen deprivation, impacting movement and requiring lifelong support.
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) – Brain damage from lack of oxygen and blood flow, leading to developmental delays and neurological disorders.
- Erb’s Palsy/Brachial Plexus Injuries – Nerve damage from excessive force during delivery, which can cause partial or permanent paralysis.
- Shoulder Dystocia – Occurs when a baby’s shoulder gets stuck during birth, requiring fast and skilled intervention to avoid complications.

Step 4: Trial-Ready Litigation

How Medical Negligence Causes Birth Injuries
Common forms of negligence include:
- Ignoring signs of fetal distress
- Misuse of forceps or vacuum tools
- Delaying necessary C-sections
- Failing to treat maternal conditions
- Poor neonatal care
These preventable mistakes can have lifelong consequences for your child and your entire family.
Your Legal Rights in Arizona
Arizona law protects families affected by birth injuries caused by medical malpractice. Here’s what you need to know:Statute of Limitations
Under A.R.S. § 12-542, you generally have two years from the date of injury or its discovery to file a claim. For minors, this timeframe may extend until the child’s 18th birthday—but don’t delay. Evidence and medical records can fade over time.Proving Negligence
To succeed in a Phoenix birth injury case, your legal team must prove:- A provider-patient relationship existed
- The standard of care was breached
- That breach directly caused injury
- The injury resulted in measurable damages
This process demands in-depth medical knowledge, access to qualified expert witnesses, and experience with complex cases—all of which Miller Kory Rowe brings to your family’s case.
Compensation: Securing Your Child’s Future
A successful birth injury claim can help cover:
- Current and future medical care
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- In-home care and equipment
- Special education services
