Why Hire a Birth Injury Lawyer?
You may be wondering if hiring a birth injury lawyer is even necessary. But these cases are rarely simple. Medical providers and hospitals often deny responsibility, and without skilled legal representation, families can face an uphill battle trying to get the truth. You need a lawyer who knows how to gather evidence, build a strong case, and push back against powerful institutions that refuse to admit fault.
Hiring a birth injury lawyer means putting someone on your side who understands the medical and legal aspects of these claims.
At Ferrer Poirot Feller, we know how to investigate the timeline of delivery, uncover errors in fetal monitoring, and work with medical experts who can testify about the standard of care. That’s not something most families can take on alone.
You also need someone who knows how to negotiate with powerful insurance companies—and who isn’t afraid to take the case to court if needed. Our goal is always to secure a fair result without adding more stress to your life.
You don’t have to accept what happened as an unfortunate accident. If someone’s mistake changed your child’s life, we’ll help you fight for the accountability and resources your family deserves. And you won’t pay anything unless we win.
What Counts as a Birth Injury?
Not every complication during birth is grounds for legal action, but when a doctor’s mistake directly leads to harm, it could qualify as a birth injury. These injuries are often the result of delayed decisions, improper delivery techniques, or a failure to monitor both mother and baby during labor.
Some of the most common types of birth injuries include:
- Cerebral palsy caused by oxygen deprivation
- Brachial plexus injuries (such as Erb’s palsy) from improper pulling
- Brain damage from prolonged labor or mismanaged C-sections
- Skull fractures or nerve damage from forceps or vacuum delivery
- Untreated infections passed to the newborn
Every case is different. That’s why we work closely with medical experts to understand how the injury occurred, what could have prevented it, and who may be legally responsible.
If you suspect your child’s condition was the result of a medical error, don’t wait. Early intervention isn’t just important medically—it’s also key to building a strong legal case. Choosing the right lawyer for you means finding someone who understands both the emotional weight and the legal complexity of birth injury claims. We’re here to help you explore your options with honesty and care.

Signs Your Child May Have Suffered a Birth Injury
Some birth injuries are immediately obvious. Others may take months—or even years—to fully reveal themselves. That’s why it’s so important to watch for early signs and trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel right. Call a lawyer as soon as you suspect something might be wrong so you can get clear answers and protect your child’s future.
Common signs of a possible birth injury include:
- Difficulty breathing at birth
- Seizures or abnormal reflexes
- Muscle stiffness or limp limbs
- Feeding problems or poor weight gain
- Delayed developmental milestones
- Difficulty controlling movement or posture
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, or another condition related to birth trauma, it may be linked to medical negligence.
At Ferrer Poirot Feller, we offer free consultations to help you understand if you may have a case. You don’t need to know exactly what went wrong—that’s our job. We’ll investigate the full medical history and determine whether your child’s injury could have been avoided.
Don’t wait for answers. We’re here to help you find them.

How Do Birth Injuries Happen?
Birth injuries often occur when doctors, nurses, or other medical professionals fail to respond appropriately during labor and delivery. These are not always accidents—sometimes, they’re the result of avoidable mistakes.
Some of the most common causes include:
- Failure to monitor fetal heart rate or signs of distress
- Delayed C-sections despite clear warning signs
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Excessive force during delivery
- Misuse of labor-inducing drugs like Pitocin
- Inadequate response to maternal complications (such as high blood pressure or infections)
The reality is, even small decisions made during labor can have lifelong consequences. That’s why birth injury claims often focus on timing, judgment, and communication—what the medical team did (or didn’t do) at critical moments.
At Ferrer Poirot Feller, we dig into every detail. We examine records, timelines, and communication between providers to uncover what went wrong and who should be held accountable. You don’t need to have all the answers right now. That’s our job. We’re here to help you find the truth and fight for what comes next.
What Compensation Can a Birth Injury Lawsuit Provide?
When your child suffers a birth injury, the emotional toll is devastating, but the financial impact can be just as overwhelming. Between surgeries, therapy, adaptive equipment, and lifelong care, the costs can add up fast. A birth injury lawsuit gives your family a way to recover those losses and plan for the future.
Depending on the specifics of your case, compensation may include:
- Ongoing medical expenses and treatment
- Future care needs and special education services
- Therapy, rehabilitation, and assistive technology
- Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life
- Lost income if a parent must stop working to provide care
Some families are also entitled to damages for the long-term economic impact of raising a child with special needs. This isn’t about assigning a dollar value to your child—it’s about giving you the tools to support them for years to come. Lawyers can help maximize your compensation by identifying every recoverable cost and fighting to secure the full support your family will need.
Ferrer Poirot Feller will work with economists, care planners, and medical experts to make sure every dollar is accounted for. You only get one shot at justice. We’re here to make it count.
How Long Do I Have to File a Birth Injury Lawsuit?
Every state has its own statute of limitations for filing a birth injury claim, and those deadlines can vary widely depending on where the injury occurred and who’s bringing the claim. Some states give parents just one or two years to take legal action—others allow more time when a minor is involved. But waiting too long can put your case at serious risk.
It’s also important to know that birth injury claims involve complex timelines. In many cases, you may not even know something went wrong until months—or years—after delivery. If your child misses developmental milestones or gets a diagnosis later on, it may still be possible to pursue a case. Contact us for a free consultation so we can review your situation and help you understand your legal options without any pressure or upfront cost.
That’s why the best first step is a conversation. At Ferrer Poirot Feller, we’ll review your child’s birth history, the timing of the diagnosis, and the laws in your state. Then we’ll let you know your legal options—no pressure, no commitment.
Don’t let a legal deadline keep your family from getting justice. Reach out today and let us take it from here.
How to Start Your Birth Injury Case

When you contact Ferrer Poirot Feller, we’ll start with a free consultation where you can tell us your story. We’ll ask about your child’s diagnosis, what happened during delivery, and how life has changed since then. If we think you have a case, we’ll explain exactly what happens next and what to expect.
From there, our team handles everything:
- Collecting medical records and expert testimony
- Investigating timelines and delivery decisions
- Negotiating with hospitals, providers, and insurers
- Filing the legal paperwork and preparing for trial, if needed
You won’t pay anything unless we recover money for you. And you can always reach us with questions along the way.
You’ve been through enough. Let us handle the legal work so you can focus on your child’s care.
Frequently Asked Questions About Birth Injury Cases
What is the difference between a birth injury and a birth defect?
A birth injury happens because of something that went wrong during labor or delivery, often due to a medical provider’s action or inaction.
A birth defect, however, is a health condition that develops while the baby is in the womb, often due to genetic or environmental factors, and is typically not caused by the delivery process.
Our firm investigates your child’s birth to determine if a medical error caused a preventable injury.
How much does it cost to start a birth injury case?
We handle birth injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront costs or attorney’s fees.
We receive a fee only if we successfully recover financial compensation for your family through a settlement or court award. We cover the costs of the investigation and litigation while the case proceeds.
What should I do if the hospital is pressuring me to accept a quick settlement?
You should never accept a settlement offer without first consulting with a lawyer who has experience with birth injury claims.
Initial offers from hospitals or their insurance companies rarely account for the full lifetime cost of a child’s injury.
We can evaluate any offer and advise you on whether it provides fair compensation for your child’s future medical care, therapy, and other needs.
Do I need all of my medical records before I call you?
No, you do not need to gather your medical records yourself. When you contact us for a free consultation, you only need to tell us your story.
If we move forward with your case, our team will handle the entire process of collecting all relevant medical records from your pregnancy, labor, and delivery, as well as your child’s subsequent medical care. You may still be eligible for compensation in Texas, even if time has passed or you’re unsure exactly what went wrong.
