- Erb's Palsy: A specific type of brachial plexus injury affecting the shoulder and arm.
- Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen during birth, which can lead to a range of neurological problems.
- Spina Bifida: A birth defect involving the spinal cord, which can result in physical disabilities.

- Fractures: Broken bones in the skull, clavicle, or other areas.

Understanding Legal Responsibility in Birth Injury Cases: Who Is at Fault?
Determining who is liable for a birth injury can be complex, as multiple parties might be held responsible. Our team at Cameron Law will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potentially liable parties and build a strong case for your claim.
Here are some of the parties that could be held liable for a birth injury in Las Vegas:
Medical Professionals
Doctors and nurses who are negligent during labor and delivery by failing to deliver reasonable care can be held liable.
Hospitals
Hospitals can be held liable because of insufficient staffing, lack of proper equipment, or failure to follow established protocols.
Pharmaceutical Companies
In some cases, a birth injury may be linked to a defective drug or medical device used during labor and delivery.
It’s not just doctors and nurses who can fail to care for patients adequately. Negligence by anesthesiologists, midwives, or other healthcare professionals involved in the delivery process can also contribute to birth injuries.
Do You Have a Viable Birth Injury Case?
Determining whether you have a valid birth injury case requires establishing if another party's negligence contributed to your child's injuries. Negligence occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care, leading them to harm another person.
Here are some key factors that our attorneys consider when evaluating a birth injury case:
Duty of Care
Did the at-fault party owe a duty of care to your child during the birthing process?
Breach of Duty
Did the at-fault party fail to meet that standard of care, leading to a breach of their duty?
Causation
Was the at-fault party's breach of duty a direct cause of your child's injuries?
Damages
Has your child suffered damages as a result of the birth injury, such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other potential future care needs?
These factors must be present in order for you to bring a valid personal injury claim against another party. Our team will work diligently to gather the necessary evidence in your case
What Damages Can You Recover in a Las Vegas Birth Injury Case?
If your child has suffered a birth injury due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation for a wide range of damages. These damages are designed to help cover the costs associated with your child's care and future needs:
Medical Expenses
This includes past and future costs for doctor's appointments, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and any other necessary medical treatment.
Lost Earning Potential
If your child's injuries affect their ability to work in the future, you may be able to recover compensation for lost wages.
Pain and Suffering
This category of damages compensates for the physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress your child has experienced as a result of the injury.
Future Care Costs
If your child requires specialized care or assistance with daily living activities, you may be able to recover compensation for these future expenses.
A settlement or favorable verdict can provide your child with the care and resources they need for years to come. We’ll work tirelessly to help your family achieve the bright future you deserve.
What Is My Birth Injury Case Worth?
Determining the value of a birth injury case is complex and depends on many factors, including the severity of the injuries, the child's future care needs, and the potential liability of the responsible parties.
Our legal team at Cameron Law will carefully review your child's medical records, assess the extent of their injuries, and consider all potential damages to calculate a fair and just settlement.
Compensation Limits: What You Need to Know About Birth Injury Cases
Nevada law may impose certain limits on the amount of compensation you can recover in a personal injury lawsuit, including those involving birth injuries. These limitations can vary based on factors such as the type of damages, the severity of your child's injuries, and the circumstances of the accident.
It's crucial to consult with a lawyer to understand these limitations and how they might affect your specific case. At Cameron Law, we will thoroughly assess your damages, identify any applicable caps, and develop a legal strategy to pursue the maximum compensation available to you under the law.
The Long-Term Effects of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can have a profound and lasting impact on a child's life, affecting their physical, cognitive, and emotional development. These injuries can lead to a wide range of challenges, requiring ongoing medical care and support.
Here are some of the potential long-term consequences of birth injuries:
Physical Disabilities
Birth injuries can lead to physical limitations and disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, or limb impairments.
Cognitive and Developmental Delays
Some birth injuries can affect a child's brain development, leading to cognitive delays, learning disabilities, or intellectual disabilities.
Emotional and Behavioral Challenges
Children with birth injuries may face emotional and behavioral difficulties as they navigate their unique challenges.
Increased Medical Costs
A birth injury often results in lifelong medical expenses, including ongoing therapy, medications, and specialized healthcare.
Loss of Earning Potential
If a birth injury significantly impacts a child's ability to work or pursue higher education, they may face reduced earning potential in the future.
It's crucial for families to understand the full spectrum of these potential consequences to advocate for their child's needs and seek the necessary resources for their long-term care and well-being.
Don't Miss Your Chance for Justice: Nevada's Time Limit for Birth Injury Lawsuits
In Nevada, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit after your child suffers a birth injury. This is known as the statute of limitations. For birth injury cases, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the birth. This means that if you don't file your lawsuit within two years of the birth, you'll likely lose your right to seek compensation.
It's crucial to contact a Las Vegas birth injury attorney as soon as possible after your child's birth. Don't delay seeking legal advice, as this could jeopardize your ability to recover the compensation you deserve.

FAQ
What should I do if I believe my child has suffered a birth injury?
It's important to seek medical attention for your child immediately. Document everything, and contact a birth injury attorney as soon as possible.
How do I get copies of my child's medical records?
You can request these from the hospital or healthcare providers directly. Your attorney can also assist with this process.
What if my child's birth injury wasn't discovered immediately?
Even if a birth injury isn't diagnosed right away, you still have legal rights. According to the discovery rule, the statute of limitations does not begin until an injury was or should reasonably have been discovered. Contact a lawyer to learn more about the time limits that apply to your case.
What is the difference between medical malpractice and negligence in a birth injury case?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other medical professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury. Negligence can encompass a broader range of actions or omissions that cause harm.
