Last updated on March 12, 2026

At Dalton & Associates, P.A., we help Delaware parents whose newborns have suffered birth injuries. Our Wilmington birth injury lawyers understand how critical financial relief can be for families who are in this challenging situation. We’ve successfully litigated birth injury and other medical malpractice cases since 1987. Over this time, our team has built a reputation for success, with several of our attorneys being selected to The Best Lawyers in America in the medical malpractice section.

Types Of Birth Injuries

There are many different injuries newborns can suffer at birth, including:

  • Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Vacuum/forceps injuries
  • Neonatal brain injuries
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb’s palsy

These injuries are sometimes the result of medical mistakes, such as delayed C-sections, fetal monitoring errors, prenatal care negligence, obstetric malpractice and delivery errors.

What Compensation Is Available in Birth Injury Claims?

When a health care provider’s negligence leads to a birth injury, a medical malpractice lawsuit may be an option. When successful, such claims can result in compensation for families that covers a wide range of items, including:

  • Past and future care expenses
  • Medical devices
  • Medications
  • Rehabilitation
  • Pain and suffering

Our experienced newborn injury attorneys have extensive experience helping mothers and fathers pursue claims for such financial relief. Our team understands the complexities of such cases, and can guide you through every step with insightful and time-tested legal strategies.
