When Delivery Room Mistakes Change Lives Forever

Childbirth should be a moment of joy—not a source of lifelong trauma. Sadly, when medical providers fail to act swiftly or follow proper protocols during labor and delivery, the consequences can be devastating. At Leitner Warywoda, we represent families throughout New York City and Long Island in complex birth injury malpractice cases, including those involving cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and maternal complications. If you believe negligence played a role in your or your child’s injury, we’re here to help you get answers—and justice.

​

Common Birth Injuries Caused by Medical Negligence

Misdiagnoses often result from a breakdown in communication or care: a primary doctor failing to refer a patient to a specialist, a radiologist misreading a scan, or a lab technician mixing up biopsy results. Commonly missed cancers include breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and skin cancer. We’ve seen these mistakes occur everywhere from overburdened city hospitals in Manhattan and the Bronx to smaller outpatient clinics across Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

How We Prove Medical Malpractice in Birth Injury Cases

Medical providers often deny fault, even when serious injuries occur. That’s why our attorneys build strong, evidence-based cases using expert testimony, fetal monitoring data, delivery records, and neonatal assessments. We work with board-certified obstetricians, neurologists, and pediatric specialists to confirm how the standard of care was violated—and the long-term effects of that failure. Our goal is to secure compensation for everything from ongoing medical care to mobility equipment, therapy, and pain and suffering.
