How Our Delaware Newborn Anoxic Brain Injury Lawyers Advocate for You
When a newborn suffers from brain damage due to lack of oxygen, the resulting investigation into its cause can be time-consuming and stressful. Our Delaware personal injury lawyers and staff will strengthen your claim in the following ways:
- Identify the members of your medical team and their responsibilities
- Consult qualified medical experts to clarify acceptable standards of care
- Secure an Affidavit of Merit if necessary (per Ohio law) for your claim
- Collect supportive evidence (documentation, photos, witness statements, etc.)
- Document your individual and collective recoverable damages
- Negotiate a fair and appropriate financial settlement on your behalf
Birth injury lawsuits like yours rarely go to court. If yours does, we will not hesitate to represent you at trial and keep fighting for the financial compensation you and your child need and deserve.
Our Client-Friendly Fee Structure Means You Can Get Legal Support Immediately
Concern about the cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer does not have to prevent you from getting legal service and support when you need it most. Rather than add to your financial burden, our personal injury lawyers will accept your case on a contingency fee basis.
Our payment is a preapproved percentage of your recovered damages. If you do not receive a financial award (settlement or verdict), you will not owe us any attorney’s fees at all.

How Newborn Anoxic Brain Injuries Occur in Delaware Deliveries

How We Prove Medical Negligence Led to Your Child’s Newborn Brain Injury
Brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen at birth can result in a lifetime of disabilities and impairment. It can also lead to one or more of the following lifelong challenges:
- Limited motor function
- Muscle spasticity
- Seizures and tremors
- Blindness and deafness
- Speech impairments
- Cognitive impairments
- Behavioral challenges
Our legal team will consult with medical experts and specialists to investigate your medical malpractice claim. Depending on the circumstances of your case, we may request inspection results for the hospital, delivery room, surgical suite (in C-section cases), and more.
These inspections and resulting reports can be hard to obtain on your own. We collect them for you and add them to the evidence in your case file.
The Last Thing You Should Worry About Is How You’re Going To Pay For Your Medical Bills.

Our Delaware Newborn Anoxic Brain Injury Lawyers Document Your Damages
No two clients or families are exactly alike, so we create a carefully detailed list of the specific damages your family can recover and compile the following evidence to support your financial compensation request:
- Comprehensive medical expenses
- Treatment-related travel bills
- Proof of the parent’s income
- Receipts for home modifications
This portion of your case file will support your birth injury claim and ensure your case is not undervalued or underpaid.
We Pursue Medical Bills and Other Economic Damages
Assessing your economic or tangible damages often starts with past and current medical bills. We also consult your child’s healthcare team to obtain a written prognosis that describes the care they will need in the immediate and distant future.
Additional economic damages we request on your behalf can include:
- Lost wages: Past, current, and future losses of income when caring for your son or daughter prevents you from returning to work
- Accommodations: Special furnishings, tools, in-home medical support, and compensation for special education in the future
Economic damages also include necessary medications, assistive medical devices, physical therapy, and other required adaptations. We will collect the bills and receipts that support their value.
We Also Pursue these Non-Economic Damages
Serious injuries at birth can have a lifelong impact on your newborn and your entire family. The compensation request we make on your behalf will include the following non-economic damages:
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Diminished quality of life
Ohio Revised Code Section 2315.18 outlines damage caps on non-economic compensation. There are exceptions that allow us to exceed these caps, such as victims suffering from catastrophic injuries. Within its bounds, our law firm works hard to achieve the best possible financial recovery on your behalf.
