Hypoxic, Anoxic And Ischemic Injuries
Hypoxic-anoxic and ischemic brain injuries occur when there is a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can result from a variety of situations, including:
- Lack of blood to the brain in the womb
- In an accident
- During surgery
- Respiratory arrest or breathing problems
- Choking or drowning
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
As experienced Bay Area birth trauma lawyers, we provide clients with diligent case preparation and experienced trial representation in cases involving hypoxic-anoxic and ischemic brain injuries.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a birth defect, which can be caused by a lack of oxygen, head trauma, poor prenatal, perinatal or neonatal care. It can lead to mental disabilities, problems walking and talking, and seizures, among many other symptoms.
Our attorneys understand how important your child is to you. As your legal team, we will work to bring a claim and hold the responsible parties accountable as well as secure the medical coverage you need to care for your child.
Encephalomalacia
Encephalomalacia, or cerebromalacia, is a softening or loss of brain tissue. It can occur when the blood is restricted in surgery or in the womb. The resulting effects of encephalomalacia can include a wide range of altered brain functions, including mood, motor function, memory and balance.
If your child was injured at birth, we will vigorously investigate the cause as your legal team.
