Maryland Birth Injury Lawyers
If you are reading this – you may be suffering with a birth injury in Maryland. Birth injuries can be unbelievably upsetting and stressful on you and your family.
If you are suffering this type of medical malpractice injury – we know you are worried about a lot of different things.
Birth injuries can negatively impact your entire life.
It is critically important for you to find out if you are owed financial compensation for the birth injuries your family members have sustained.
Allow the experienced injury lawyers at Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers to help you get through this difficult situation. If you select our legal team – we will take all the legal matters related to your case off your plate. We want you to do one thing and one thing only – take care of your family.
If you’re worried about the cost related to hiring an experienced birth injury attorney – you don’t have to worry about that. Our birth injury attorneys won’t ask for any money upfront. We will finance all aspects of your case for you. We don’t get paid until we win your case. If we don’t win – you will owe us nothing at all.
The key with birth injuries is to not delay. The hospitals and their insurance companies are not on your side. They may try to talk to you. When they do talk to you – they will always act nice. Remember the hospitals are not your friend. They are doing everything they can to deny or reduce the value of your claim. What you say yourself to an insurance adjuster can later be used as evidence against you. What your attorney says on your behalf cannot be held against you later in court. Always let your law firm communicate with the insurance company for you.
Studies show that if you hire an experienced lawyer for your injury claim – you will get 3.5 times more money when your case resolves.
Get an experienced Maryland birth injury lawyer working for you right away. We will not stop until we get you full compensation for your family’s injuries.
We are looking forward to serving you. Contact us to schedule your free legal consultation at Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers LLC.

What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is any injury resulting before, during, or right after childbirth. Either the mother or baby may suffer these injuries; in many cases, both are injured.
Unfortunately, birth injuries are frequently the result of medical negligence such as:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Failure to monitor a prolonged labor
- Failure to order an emergency C-section
- Failure to assess or consider a mother’s or baby’s risk factors
- Errors with medication and anesthesia, such as epidurals
- Improper use of forceps, such as using them for too long
- Mistakes during vacuum-assisted delivery, or vacuum extraction errors
- Failure to safely remove a baby from the birth canal
Note that a birth injury is different from a birth defect, the latter of which most often results from alcohol or drug use, family medical history/genetics, and toxic exposure during pregnancy. There are cases in which medical negligence, or other third-party negligence, may lead to a preventable birth defect. If your child was born with an unexpected birth defect, despite having received extensive prenatal care from a health care professional, consult a Maryland birth injury attorney to learn your rights.
Common Birth Injuries: Do I Qualify for a Claim?
State law mandates that any injury caused by another’s negligence qualifies for a legal claim. At Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers, we help clients who have suffered labor and delivery injuries such as the following:
- Facial and limb paralysis
- Brachial plexus injuries, including Erb’s palsy
- Cerebral palsy
- Umbilical cord prolapse
- Lack of oxygen
- Head and brain injuries
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
- Broken bones, such as fractured collarbones
- Uterine rupture
- C-section injuries
- Placental abruption
- Postpartum hemorrhage
- Preeclampsia and eclampsia
- Vaginal tears and anal fissures
- Infection-related injuries, from surgical site infections to mishandled sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
We also take on cases in which a birth injury resulted in infant and/or maternal death. If this happened to your family, we wish you our deepest condolences. We know that nothing can make up for such an earth-shattering loss, which is why the at-fault party must be held accountable. Learn more about your rights after bereavement here.
