Birmingham Birth Injury Lawyers for Life-Changing Medical Negligence
Compassionate advocacy for families facing catastrophic birth injuries in Alabama and Georgia
The birth of a child should be a moment of joy—not the beginning of a lifetime of medical care caused by preventable mistakes.
When doctors, nurses, or hospitals fail to follow accepted standards of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the consequences can be devastating.
If your child suffered harm, a Birmingham birth injury lawyer at Bodewell Injury Group can help you pursue accountability and the financial resources your family needs.
We represent families across Alabama and Georgia in complex birth injury and medical malpractice cases.
Our trial-focused team combines medical insight, expert-driven investigation, and courtroom readiness to confront hospitals and insurers that refuse to take responsibility.
How Our Birmingham Birth Injury Lawyers Help Families
Birth injury cases are medically and legally complex. They often involve subtle warning signs, delayed interventions,
and lifelong consequences that insurers try to minimize. We approach every case with care, urgency, and precision—because your child’s future depends on it.
Our Birth Injury Case Process
| Stage | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Investigation & case evaluation | Obtain prenatal, labor, and delivery records; work with obstetric, neonatal, and life-care experts to determine whether medical negligence occurred. |
| Damages & future-care planning | Document current and future medical needs, therapies, assistive devices, lost earning capacity, and family impact. |
| Negotiation | Present a fully developed, expert-supported claim designed to force insurers and hospital systems to confront the true value of the harm. |
| Trial litigation | If necessary, we take the case to court and present a clear, compelling story to a jury—seeking long-term security for your child. |
