Understanding Birth Injuries and Medical Negligence
Birth injuries often occur when medical professionals fail to provide the standard of care required during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. These errors can lead to devastating consequences for both the child and their family. Common causes of birth injuries include:
- Improper use of delivery tools, such as forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to monitor the baby’s oxygen levels
- Delayed decisions during prolonged labor or breech birth
- Inadequate responses to fetal distress
At Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C., we understand how overwhelming it can be to face the aftermath of a birth injury. Our Denver birth injury lawyers are here to help you pursue justice and secure compensation for your child’s needs.
Types of Birth Injuries We Handle
Our attorneys have extensive experience in cases involving:
- Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during labor, resulting in permanent motor impairments.
- Erb’s Palsy: Injury to the brachial plexus nerves, often caused by excessive force during delivery.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: Damage to the network of nerves controlling the arm and hand, potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis.
- Extraction Injuries: Trauma from vacuum extraction or forceps delivery.
- Delivery Complications: Injuries caused by prolonged labor, breech births, or emergency cesarean sections.

Gerash Steiner Is More Like A Family Than A Team.
Our daughter was born with a birth injury- she is currently 5 years old. We are from a small community and resources are limited. No attorneys in our area would touch this case. We contacted Gerash Steiner for help as to what our options were. Eric and Dan as well as their paralegal have become a vested part of our family. They answered each question to its fullest extent. They helped us find resources to increase our daughter’s potential. We hired Gerash Steiner to help us recover expenses for past and future medical for our daughter. During the process I had contact with someone from their team on a weekly, at times daily basis, updates, just checking in or help with doctor appointments. Gerash Steiner is more like a family than a team. The amount that was recovered from the doctor and hospital will greatly benefit our daughter’s future. To say this process was easy would be a lie, but the help from this wonderful team made it easier for us. Nothing is easy if your child is disabled. The time and effort that was devoted to our case was stunning, they made us feel as if we were their highest priority.
