Birth Injury Lawyer Georgia | Georgia Injury Attorneys

Birth injury cases — including HIE (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and shoulder dystocia injuries — are a specialized subset of medical malpractice. They require obstetric and pediatric neurology experts, careful review of fetal monitoring strips, and an attorney who understands both the medicine and the lifelong cost of care that a brain-injured child will need.

Insurance companies make money by paying claimants as little as possible. Their adjusters are friendly, sympathetic — and trained. Every recorded statement, every quick settlement offer, every authorization form is designed to limit what they pay you. Our Georgia birth injuries attorneys exist to flip that dynamic. We do the negotiating. We document the damages. We file suit when needed.

Most importantly: we get paid only if you do. Our contingency fee means there's no risk in calling — and every reason not to wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses move, deadlines pass. The sooner we're involved, the stronger your case.

What to do after a birth injuries incident

The first 24-72 hours after an incident shape the strength of your eventual case. Here's what we tell every Georgia client to do:

1. 1

   Obtain the complete labor and delivery records

   Including fetal monitoring strips, nursing notes, and anesthesia records.

2. 2

   Document the child's developmental milestones (or missed ones)

   Pediatric records establish the trajectory of the injury.

3. 3

   Avoid discussing the case with hospital risk management

   They may be helpful, but their job is to protect the hospital.

4. 4

   Consult an attorney quickly

   Georgia's medical malpractice statute of repose limits how long you have to file.

5. 5

   Start documenting the lifetime cost of care

   Therapy, equipment, modifications, lost earning capacity.

Even doing all of the above, you may still need an attorney to negotiate fairly with the insurance company. Adjusters know that unrepresented claimants accept smaller settlements — significantly smaller, on average. Hiring counsel changes the math.
