Trusted Legal Advocates for Birth Injury Cases in Cherry Hill, NJ

Welcoming a new baby should be one of life’s most joyful moments. But when medical negligence occurs during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, the results can be devastating. At Feldman Shepherd, our Cherry Hill birth injury lawyers fight for families across Camden County and South Jersey whose children were harmed by preventable mistakes.

With decades of experience and a team of attorneys who understand both the legal and medical sides of these cases, we’ve helped families throughout New Jersey recover the compensation they need to secure their child’s care and future.

What Is a Birth Injury? And When Is It Medical Malpractice?

A birth injury refers to physical or neurological harm caused to a baby during labor, delivery, or shortly after birth. Some complications are unforeseeable—but many are the result of improper care. When medical professionals fail to monitor fetal distress, delay necessary interventions, or misuse delivery tools, the damage can last a lifetime.

Our Cherry Hill birth injury attorneys investigate what went wrong at hospitals and birthing centers throughout South Jersey, including Virtua Voorhees, Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, and Cooper University Hospital. If negligence occurred, we’ll hold the responsible providers accountable.

Common Causes of Birth Injuries in South Jersey Hospitals

Umbilical Cord Complications

Failure to detect and treat cord prolapse, compression, or knots can deprive a baby of oxygen—leading to:

Cerebral palsy
HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy)
Brain damage and seizures
Stillbirth

Delayed Emergency C-Sections

Ignoring signs of fetal distress, obstructed labor, or maternal complications like preeclampsia can result in irreversible injury. When doctors wait too long to act, infants suffer.

Improper Use of Forceps or Vacuum Devices

When delivery tools are used with excessive force or inappropriately, babies can sustain serious injuries, including:

Erb’s Palsy
Nerve damage
Skull fractures and facial injuries
