Perinatal Hypoxia Aggressive & Honest Representation

Weston Perinatal Hypoxia Attorney

Let Us Help You Seek Compensation for Your Child’s Injury

Perinatal hypoxia describes a condition immediately before or after birth when an infant’s tissues experience oxygen deficiency. In some cases, a baby may stop breathing because of birth complications, and lack of oxygen, as a result, can cause some of the infant’s brain cells to die. Sometimes, this issue could lead to cerebral palsy, which is a condition that can affect a child for the rest of his or her life.

If your infant was harmed because of medical negligence or carelessness, the person responsible should be held accountable for his or her actions. Talk to one of our skilled Weston perinatal hypoxia attorneys about your case. Rash Mueller is dedicated to helping the victims of personal injury seek compensation for the harm done to them.

What Are Causes of Perinatal Hypoxia?

There are many reasons an infant could experience oxygen deprivation before and after birth. Major causes of perinatal hypoxia include the following:

  • Placental abruption
  • Maternal smoking
  • Traumatic brain damage
  • Lack of adequate fetal monitoring
  • Birth asphyxia
  • Maternal anemia

In some cases, conditions that could cause oxygen deprivation could be predicted by the physician before the birth even takes place. If most doctors would have recommended a cesarean section (C-section) when your doctor failed to perform one, he or she may be guilty of medical malpractice.

Long-Term Effects

Perinatal hypoxia is a serious injury that could lead to severe medical complications among infants. Severe brain damage, for example, could cause whole-body paralysis or learning issues. An infant with perinatal hypoxia is likely to experience the full effect of the condition 48 hours after birth, which means the impact of perinatal hypoxia can also be minimized if the situation is addressed within the 1st 48 hours after birth.

Other conditions perinatal hypoxia can cause include the following:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Disabilities
  • Behavioral disorders
  • Severe seizures

    "Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, & was straightforward with all detail!"
    When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case. Leading up to the decision Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, and was straightforward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own doctors or the hospital did. I have closure because of HER! So I still won! My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her! She speaks to you as if she knew you forever! I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, they listen, and they put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!

    "I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."
    From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.

    "Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."
    I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.
