What Compensation is Available?

Perinatal asphyxia can change a child's life forever. Some cases are mild and resolve over time, but others lead to cerebral palsy, developmental delays, seizures, or long-term disabilities that may require lifelong care. Many families feel overwhelmed by uncertainty and financial stress after such a diagnosis.

We work to help you pursue compensation for many needs, including:

• Ongoing medical treatment, therapy, and assistive devices
• In-home or specialized nursing care if required
• Rehabilitation, educational support, and adaptive equipment
• Lost earnings and diminished earning capacity for your child’s future
• Emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, and other serious consequences

If your child’s oxygen deprivation was the result of negligent monitoring, delayed emergency intervention, improper use of delivery tools, or other failures at a Denver hospital, your family may have legal options. During your consultation, we will explain what types of compensation may be available and what steps are needed to pursue them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my child’s birth asphyxia was preventable?

We determine whether a child’s birth asphyxia was preventable by thoroughly reviewing medical records from the child's delivery and examining whether medical professionals followed required standards in Denver. Our team, including nurse practitioners and legal staff, looks for evidence such as delayed responses to fetal distress, improper monitoring, or mistakes during emergency interventions. We may consult independent experts when needed. Not every case is preventable, but we strive to uncover whether deviations from accepted care played a role in your child’s injury.

How long does a birth asphyxia lawsuit usually take?

A birth asphyxia lawsuit can take several months to over a year. The timeline depends on factors such as case complexity, the availability of medical records, and whether the parties negotiate or go to trial. We keep families updated on progress and explain each step from investigation and filing through resolution. Our goal is to keep the process as clear as possible and support you at every turn.

How does your team support families through this process?

We support families by offering personal attention, regular communication, and comprehensive resources. Our legal and medical professionals provide clear updates, explain legal steps, and answer questions promptly. We want you to feel informed and supported while your case is active, with access to our integrated team in Denver whenever you need help.

What kinds of compensation are available for my child’s injury?

Compensation in these cases may include medical care, therapy, special education services, compensation for lost earnings, and non-economic damages such as emotional distress. We document every area of your child’s needs so we can pursue the maximum recovery. During your consultation, we will discuss what categories of damages may apply and how we can work to secure them for your family.
