Was your baby born with birth defects because of a hospital error?  Get a FREE legal review of your case.

Over 10,000 babies are born each day in the United States. While the majority of these deliveries are normal, there are sometimes births which result in injuries to the mother or baby. While the majority of birth defects are caused by an unknown congenital problem, there are cases that occur because of a medical mistake that occurs during either pregnancy or delivery. If your child was born with a defect because of improper medical care, you may be entitled to be compensated for any financial bills or emotional stress you have suffered. Use the case evaluator below to see if you are eligible for a FREE legal review from our attorneys.

Do I have a CASE?

FREE Birth Defects Case Evaluator! Answer the following three questions and fill out the form below. A legal expert will review your claim within 24 hours.

Question 1: Did someone in your immediate family suffer birth defects or a birth injury?

In order to file a birth injury lawsuit, a loved one must have suffered from a birth defect or injury. If a child has been injured, his or her parents usually file a personal injury claim on the child's behalf.

Question 2: Was the injury a result of medical malpractice or negligence?

All birth defects and birth injuries are tragic, but not all of them are due to malpractice or negligence. You can sue on your child's behalf if their birth injury was caused by actions or lack of action (negligence) of someone who was responsible for their well-being as a fetus or baby.

Question 3: Was the birth injury serious?

Birth defects and birth injuries include everything from birth marks to cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and loss of brain or physical function. If a child has suffered a serious injury as a result of malpractice or negligence, an experienced Weitz & Luxenberg Birth Injury Lawyer can help determine if you have a case.

If you answered 'yes' to all of these questions, please fill out our simple Birth Injury form. A Client Relations Representative will contact you shortly to discuss your potential case. If you didn't answer yes to these questions, but would still like to discuss your potential case, feel free as well to fill out the form below or call us at (800) 476-6070 or email us at clientrelations@weitzlux.com
