Birth Injury and Medical Negligence: Your Rights & Legal Options

Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or developmental delays can permanently impact a child’s life and place emotional and financial strain on families. Frank Spector Law specializes in these sensitive claims and provides over 30 years of medical malpractice experience in Maryland and DC.

Common Types of Birth Injury Cases

• Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors

• Failure to respond to fetal distress

• Delayed C‑sections

• Medication errors or IV complications during labor

• Inadequate fetal monitoring

Potential Consequences

Many birth injuries result in long-term conditions that require physical therapy, special education, or lifelong medical care. These injuries often demand compensation to support a child’s future and ensure quality of life.

What Families Should Know

• Documentation is vital: Save all medical records, fetal heart tracings, and doctor’s notes

• Expert review is required: Maryland law demands an expert opinion early in the legal process

• You may face arbitration: Maryland’s pre-litigation panel system may be involved before court

• Strict deadlines apply: As with other malpractice cases, time limits can impact your ability to file
