A birth injury is defined as any physical damage suffered by the infant or mother either before, during, or immediately after labor or delivery. It can range in severity from mild to life-threatening.
Unfortunately, many birth injuries are preventable and directly correlated to medical malpractice. When a doctor, nurse, or other medical staff member does not appropriately respond to events in the delivery room, the infant and mother may suffer serious harm.
The Villari Firm, PLLC is headed by Philadelphia birth injury lawyer Heidi Villari, Esq., an attorney that represents families that have been affected by a birth injury. Our attorneys are committed to helping everyone in the following areas:
If you or or your child have suffered a preventable birth injury as the result of medical malpractice, contact The Villari Firm, PLLC.
If you believe your child’s birth injury, condition, or death was caused by medical negligence, contact The Villari Firm, PLLC for a free consultation. Call (215) 600-1363.
Birth injuries are often the result of medical malpractice in the delivery room including, but not limited to:
Additionally, birth injury attorneys provide legal counsel and representation for victims of maternal birth injury, such as hemorrhaging or placental abruption (rupture), as well as the surviving family members of mothers who died due to medical malpractice/negligence during labor or delivery.

Birth injuries are not the same as birth defects. A birth injury is physical trauma suffered by the infant or mother during the birth process and is often the result of a medical provider’s mistake or failure to act.

In some cases, birth injuries can be treated with:
While some birth injuries may resolve with proper treatment, others may last the remainder of a child’s life.
