Baltimore Birth Injury Lawyers Fighting for Families
Seeking justice and lifelong financial support for children harmed by medical negligence during delivery.
The birth of a child should be joyful, but when medical negligence occurs during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the consequences can be devastating and permanent. Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, brain damage, and other serious conditions can require a lifetime of medical care, therapy, and specialized support.
At Killian Law Group, our birth injury attorneys understand the emotional weight these cases carry and the enormous financial burden families face. We fight to secure the compensation needed to provide your child with the best possible lifetime care.

Frequently Asked Birth Injury Questions:
Compensation may include current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and therapy costs, specialized equipment and home modifications, lost future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the cost of lifelong care. Birth injury verdicts and settlements can be substantial due to the lifetime nature of the damages.
Maryland allows birth injury claims to be filed within five years of the injury or until the child reaches age 11, whichever is later, with certain conditions. Because deadlines can be complex, it is important to consult an attorney as early as possible to protect your child’s rights.
Not all birth injuries are the result of malpractice. However, if your child’s injury could have been prevented with proper medical care, monitoring, or intervention, malpractice may have occurred. Our attorneys review medical records with obstetric experts to determine whether negligence played a role.
Common birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy and brachial plexus injuries, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy caused by oxygen deprivation, skull fractures, and brain hemorrhages. These injuries can result from improper use of delivery instruments, failure to perform a timely cesarean section, or failure to monitor fetal distress.
