New York / Long Island Birth Injury Lawyers
Birth injuries are devastating, but they are far more common than most realize. These injuries encompass a myriad of health concerns, and it causes parents stress, fear, and horror. Welcoming a child into the world is one of the most beautiful, joyous moments of a parent’s life. The realization your baby was injured during delivery is heartbreaking, and it causes parents to remember this moment as one of sadness and horror rather than what it really is. Birth injuries caused by negligence are even worse for families to comprehend as they are caused by the healthcare providers who are there to help make this moment easier and more enjoyable for you.
Causes of Birth Injuries
Anything could cause birth injuries, and there are no limitations to what might cause this kind of problem in the lives of a baby and its parents. However, there are a handful of very common situations in which birth injuries occur.
- Improper monitoring
- Improper use of forceps
- Improper issuance of delivery room drugs
- Failure to comply with delivery room rules
- Delayed C-sections
- Poorly performed medical operations
- Improper use of delivery room technique
These are all issues that can be easily prevented when the delivery room team is doing their job correctly, and the results of these mistakes can be life-altering for both you and your baby. These issues in the delivery room are known to cause injuries to the baby’s skull, brain damage, hypoxia, and even cerebral palsy.

"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.- Michelle A.
