For over 25 years, the law firm of Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald has been committed to fighting for children with birth injuries.  Birth asphyxia (oxygen deprivation at birth) can cause serious brain damage.  We have handled hundreds of birth injury cases, and many of them have involved brain injuries that were the result of birth asphyxia (oxygen deprivation at birth).

In the $15-million-dollar case above, our birth injury lawyers represented a child who was born prematurely in a labor room that was not equipped and staffed to resuscitate a premature infant. Expert witnesses called by medical malpractice law firm Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald testified that this departure resulted in a delay of effective ventilation and birth asphyxia (oxygen deprivation at birth).  These experts further testified that the birth asphyxia, superimposed on the child’s premature birth, resulted in periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cerebral palsy.

At the time of trial, the child attended regular school but needed an attendant to help her.  Her feet were completely inverted.  Although she had undergone two surgical procedures to try to lengthen the affected tendons, her condition was permanent.  To walk, she needed a four-legged walker.  Read more about the $15,000,000 jury verdict for our client who had periventricular leukomalacia and cerebral palsy due to birth asphyxia (oxygen deprivation at birth).
