Childbirth Injury Attorneys
Confidential Case Consultations Available
If you're a parent whose child has suffered a serious injury during childbirth, you already understand the kind of lifelong impact that injury can have.
You may be facing endless appointments, therapies and unanswered questions. You may be grieving the future you imagined for your child and wondering whether this could have been prevented. The fear, the frustration, the financial pressure: it's more than any family should bear alone.
And if that injury was the result of a hospital’s mistake, a doctor’s delay, or a team’s failure to act, you deserve more than sympathy. You deserve answers. You deserve accountability. You deserve the opportunity to secure the care your child needs for a lifetime, and the justice your family needs to begin moving forward.
At Silver Golub & Teitell, we represent families in exactly these circumstances. We handle only the most serious childbirth injury cases, those involving permanent harm, clear medical negligence and significant financial and emotional stakes. We’ve recovered some of the largest verdicts and settlements in Connecticut history for cases involving cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, anesthesia complications and maternal harm. And we have the resources, medical insight and courtroom experience to guide you through this process with compassion and clarity.
Who we help
If your child or a loved one experienced:
- Cerebral palsy
- Brain damage from oxygen deprivation
- Brachial plexus injuries, including Erb’s or Klumpke’s palsy
- Paralysis or spinal cord trauma
- Severe swelling of the scalp (caput succedaneum)
- Wrongful death of a newborn or mother
Or if a mother experienced:
- Emergency C-section complications
- Episiotomy injury or infection
- Anesthesia error or adverse drug interaction
- Preeclampsia or eclampsia mismanagement
Then your case may be eligible for legal action, but the window to file a claim may be limited.
