In need of a compassionate HIE Lawyer? We can help!

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of birth injury caused by a disruption of blood flow to a baby’s brain, depriving it of oxygen. Tragically, this type of birth injury causes permanent brain damage. HIE is one of the leading causes of cerebral palsy and infant fatalities in the U.S. If your child has suffered a birth injury as the result of medical negligence, a Distasio Kowalski HIE lawyer can help you pursue the highest level of compensation. An experienced HIE lawyer can help you hold negligent medical professionals accountable for their actions.

Possible Causes of HIE

Birth trauma or full-term injuries
Fetal distress
Prolonged labor
C-section errors or delays
Fetal monitoring errors or neglect
Anesthesia errors
Placental complications
Umbilical cord issues
Abnormal fetal position
CPD
Fetal stroke
Birth asphyxia
Infections
Trauma caused by forceps or vacuum extractor
Labor & delivery errors

HIE Medical Malpractice

In many cases, birth asphyxia and HIE are associated with medical malpractice during late pregnancy, labor, and delivery, or the neonatal period. Complications requiring the quick attention of the medical team often arise during labor and delivery. If a medical professional fails to provide the required standard of care, and this results in a serious birth injury, it is considered medical malpractice. It may be time to consult with a birth injury attorney.
