Fighting for Families Affected
by Birth Injuries in Houston
A birth injury can shatter the hopes and dreams parents have for their child’s future. Many injuries are entirely preventable—caused by poor decisions, failure to monitor, or mistakes during labor and delivery.
Our Houston birth injury lawyers understand the heartbreak you’re facing. We’re here to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable and secure the resources your child will need for a lifetime of care.
Call 800-898-4877 today for a free consultation. We are available 24/7, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury refers to any physical harm or trauma a newborn sustains during the birthing process due to medical negligence. While some complications are unavoidable, many birth injuries could and should have been prevented with proper care. Common causes of birth injuries include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Delayed C-section
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)
- Excessive force during delivery
- Medication errors during labor
When doctors, nurses, or hospitals act negligently, Trust Guss Injury Lawyers hold them accountable for the harm they cause.
Types of Birth Injuries We Handle
We represent families dealing with all forms of serious birth injuries, including:
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial plexus injuries (Erb’s palsy)
- Brain damage due to oxygen deprivation
- Skull fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Facial nerve damage
- Wrongful death of the newborn or mother
Each birth injury case requires deep medical understanding, expert testimony, and a compassionate approach. Our firm has the knowledge and resources needed to fight for your child’s future.
Damages Available in a Birth Injury Case
Birth injury cases often involve lifelong care needs, making the stakes incredibly high. If your child was injured at birth, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Specialized medical treatment and surgeries
- Long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Assistive devices and home modifications
- Lost earning capacity for your child
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
In cases involving gross negligence, punitive damages may also be available to punish and deter misconduct. Our goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that truly meets your family’s long-term needs—not just today, but for decades to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury. However, for injuries to minors, the timeline may extend until the child turns 14. Speak with a lawyer quickly to preserve your rights.
We work on a contingency fee basis. You owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Depending on the facts, you may sue individual providers, the hospital, or both. Liability often depends on employment relationships and the specific nature of the negligence.
