Birth Injury
Compensation for Birth Injuries
The delivery process and the hours or days immediately following birth are a time in which even a seemingly minor mistake on the part of a doctor or nurse can result in devastating consequences. Birth trauma and undiagnosed or untreated fetal distress can cause permanent birth injuries.
A child with severe birth injuries is likely to need physical or speech therapy and costly long term health care. The Phoenix area law firm of James R. Page provides knowledgeable legal advice, intelligent long term planning guidance and dedicated representation to the parents of children with birth injuries in Arizona.

Act Now to Learn the Truth About Your Child’s Birth Injury
Medical malpractice attorney James Page helps parents understand what happened to their child and explore options for seeking full financial compensation for the immediate and long term costs of a birth injury cause by medical malpractice, such as:
- Cerebral palsy caused by fetal hypoxia or anoxic brain injury

- Any traumatic or hypoxic brain injury resulting in neurological damage and persistent developmental disorders
