When parents contact our law firm about a Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) case, one of the most common questions they ask is:

👉 What do the medical experts actually look at?

The answer surprises many people.

In most MAS cases, experts are not looking for a single bad decision or one isolated mistake.

They are reconstructing an entire timeline.

In this video, I explain how obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatric neurologists, and other medical experts evaluate MAS cases and determine whether malpractice occurred.

You'll learn:

• Why the timeline is the most important piece of evidence
• How experts rule out alternative causes of injury during pregnancy
• What fetal heart monitoring strips can reveal about fetal distress
• How experts determine whether doctors and nurses responded appropriately
• Why NICU records are critical in evaluating MAS cases
• How ventilation records help determine the severity of lung injury and oxygen deprivation
• How experts connect the medical records to brain injury and long-term outcomes

The goal is simple:

👉 Determine what happened, when it happened, and whether it could have been prevented.

In many MAS cases, the answers are already in the medical records.

The #1 Thing Experts Look for in MAS Cases

One of the most common defenses in Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) birth injury cases is this:

👉 "The baby was fine at birth."

Defense experts often point to good Apgar scores, a strong cry, healthy color, or an initially stable appearance to argue that nothing went wrong during labor and delivery.

But that is not where the analysis ends.

In this video, I explain why birth injury lawyers look far beyond the first few minutes after birth and focus on what happened during the hours that followed.

You'll learn:

• Why a baby can initially appear stable after delivery and still suffer serious complications from MAS
• How NICU records reveal the true impact of meconium aspiration
• Why increasing oxygen needs, ventilation, and respiratory support matter
• How lawyers and medical experts connect lung injury, oxygen deprivation, and brain injury
• Why "the baby was fine at birth" is often only part of the story

In many MAS cases, the most important evidence is found in the NICU records—not the delivery room.

If your child suffered complications after meconium aspiration and you're trying to understand what happened, this video explains how experienced birth injury lawyers evaluate these cases.

The Birth Injury Defense We Hear in Almost Every MAS Case

In cases involving Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, the key legal question is not just what happened—

👉 It’s what the doctors and nurses should have done to prevent it.

In this video, I explain how we prove a failure to intervene in MAS cases—and why that often leads to malpractice.

First, you have to understand what MAS is.

When a baby releases meconium in the womb, it’s usually a sign of distress—most often caused by a lack of oxygen. That stress response can lead to the baby inhaling meconium, which can cause serious complications, including brain injury.

So what should the medical team do when they see those warning signs?

Here’s the standard approach:

👉 Reposition the mother
To relieve potential cord compression and improve oxygen flow.

👉 Provide supplemental oxygen
To increase oxygen levels reaching the baby.

👉 Closely monitor the fetal heart tracing
To determine whether the distress is improving or worsening.

👉 Move quickly to delivery if needed
If the distress continues, an emergency C-section may be required to get the baby out of danger.

The problem arises when these interventions are delayed, done improperly, or not done at all.

👉 That’s when a medical issue becomes negligence.

If your child suffered complications from MAS and you’re wondering whether the proper interventions were taken, the answer is in the records—and in the timing.

What Doctors Should Have Done to Prevent MAS (And When It’s Negligence)

In cases involving Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, the NICU records are critical.

But not just for the reason you might think.

Yes—NICU records help show the extent of the baby’s injury.
But they also serve another powerful purpose:

👉 They help defeat the defense.

In many birth injury cases, the defense will argue:
“The injury didn’t happen during labor and delivery—it happened later in the NICU.”

So how do we respond?

We use the NICU records to prove what didn’t happen.

Here’s what we look for:

👉 Immediate condition after birth
Was the baby already compromised—requiring oxygen, ventilation, or resuscitation right away?

👉 Consistency of symptoms
Did the baby struggle from the very beginning, or did something new happen later?

👉 Absence of a new injury in the NICU
We analyze the records to show there was no separate event, error, or complication in the NICU that could explain the brain damage.

When the NICU course is consistent—and there’s no new cause identified—it supports one conclusion:

👉 The injury occurred during labor and delivery.

This shifts responsibility where it belongs—on the obstetrical team, not the NICU.

If your child suffered complications from MAS and the defense is trying to blame the NICU, the records may tell a very different story.

They Blame the NICU—Here’s How We Prove MAS Started at Birth

If your baby was diagnosed with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, one of the most important questions in a birth injury case is:

👉 Was your baby already in distress—and did the medical team wait too long to deliver?

In this video, I explain exactly how we prove delayed delivery caused injury in MAS cases.

The starting point is always the fetal heart monitoring strip.

For a baby to pass and inhale meconium in the womb, the baby typically has to be under stress—most often from lack of oxygen. And the only way to see that stress in real time is through the fetal heart tracings.

Here’s what we look for:

Sudden drops in heart rate
Decelerations after contractions
Minimal or absent variability
Patterns showing ongoing oxygen deprivation

Once we identify distress, we build a timeline:

When the distress started
What non-invasive interventions were attempted
When the decision to deliver was made
And how long it actually took to get the baby out

If those initial interventions fail, the medical team must act quickly—often by performing a C-section.

👉 That’s when the clock starts.

If there’s an unreasonable delay between recognizing distress and delivering the baby, that delay can be the direct cause of MAS and resulting brain injury.

These cases are complex—but when you connect the fetal monitoring strips to the delivery timeline, that’s how you prove causation.

If your child suffered complications from MAS, you may have a case—and the details matter.

Did Doctors Wait Too Long? Proving Delayed Delivery in MAS Cases

Not every bad outcome in childbirth is malpractice. Sometimes, it truly is unavoidable.

But in cases involving Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, there is a very clear line:

👉 When medical providers see fetal distress and fail to act—that’s negligence.

In this video, I explain exactly when a failure to act crosses the line into malpractice.

During labor, doctors and nurses closely monitor the baby through the fetal heart rate strip. When that strip shows signs of distress—meaning the baby is not getting enough oxygen—they are required to respond.

Here are the types of interventions that should happen:

Repositioning the mother to relieve cord compression
Administering oxygen
Stopping or adjusting medications like Pitocin
Moving quickly to an emergency C-section

The key issue is timing.

If the medical team recognizes distress but delays intervention—or does nothing at all—that failure can directly lead to serious injury, including brain damage.

In MAS cases, that delay can mean the difference between a healthy baby and a lifelong injury.

These cases often come down to one question:
Did they act when they were supposed to?

If your child suffered complications from MAS, you may have a birth injury case—but the details matter.

When Doctors Do Nothing… It Becomes Malpractice (MAS Cases Explained)

In many PVL birth injury lawsuits, families focus on the MRI.

And while the MRI is extremely important…

👉 It often does not tell the full story.

Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) is a serious brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation to a newborn’s brain. But one of the biggest legal questions in these cases is:

👉 WHEN did the oxygen deprivation actually occur?

Did it happen:
• During pregnancy?
• During labor and delivery?
• Or later in the NICU?

That’s why one of the most important — and most overlooked — pieces of evidence in a PVL case is the timeline.

In this video, I explain how birth injury lawyers reconstruct timelines using:
• OB records
• Fetal heart monitoring strips
• Labor and delivery records
• NICU ventilation records
• Alarm logs and oxygen events
• MRI findings and imaging progression

By combining all of these records together, we can often determine:
• When the injury occurred
• Which medical providers were responsible
• Whether the injury could have been prevented

In many cases, the timeline becomes the key to proving negligence.

If your child was diagnosed with PVL and you’re trying to understand what really happened, the answer may already exist in the records.

The Most Overlooked Evidence in a PVL Case

A PVL diagnosis can permanently change a child’s life.

But in many cases, the real question is not just what caused the brain injury—

👉 It’s whether the NICU had enough trained staff to prevent it.

In this video, I explain how birth injury lawyers investigate NICU understaffing and how staffing failures can lead to oxygen deprivation, instability, and ultimately Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL).

Here’s what we analyze:

• Nurse-to-patient ratios
• NICU staffing records
• Ventilator alarms and setting changes
• Delayed responses to distress
• Monitoring failures
• Whether the NICU was properly trained and equipped

In many hospitals, critically ill babies require constant monitoring and rapid intervention. When there are too few nurses—or staff are overwhelmed—serious warning signs can be missed.

And when those delays contribute to oxygen deprivation and brain injury…

👉 That can become medical malpractice.

If your child was diagnosed with PVL after a NICU stay, the staffing records, ventilator logs, and nursing documentation may tell the real story.

The Hidden Cause of PVL

Not every infection during labor and delivery is malpractice.

But here’s where the line is crossed:

👉 When an infection is missed or not treated—and it progresses to sepsis that causes brain injury.

In this video, I explain how infection can turn into a birth injury case involving Sepsis and Periventricular Leukomalacia.

The key issue isn’t whether an infection occurred—
It’s how the medical team responded.

Here’s what we analyze:

👉 Signs of infection during labor

Elevated maternal temperature
Sweating or clinical signs of infection
Changes in fetal status

👉 What the medical team did—or failed to do

Were labs or cultures ordered?
Were antibiotics started in time?
Was delivery expedited when necessary?

If an infection is allowed to progress untreated, it can lead to sepsis. That inflammatory process can cause serious brain injury to the baby, including PVL.

And that’s where medicine becomes malpractice.

If your child was diagnosed with PVL and there were signs of infection during labor that were not properly treated, you may have a birth injury case—but the details matter.

When Infection Becomes Malpractice: The Sepsis → Brain Injury Link (PVL)

In cases involving Periventricular Leukomalacia, one of the most important pieces of evidence is the MRI.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:

👉 It’s not just the MRI—it’s when the MRI is taken.

PVL is a type of brain injury that doesn’t always show up immediately. The damage evolves over time, which means timing is everything when analyzing imaging.

In this video, I explain how we use MRI timing to prove negligence in birth injury cases.

Here’s what matters:

👉 When the MRI was performed
Early MRIs may not show the full extent of the injury. Later MRIs often reveal the true damage.

👉 How the injury changes over time
PVL evolves, and comparing multiple MRIs allows us to track that progression.

👉 Why multiple MRIs are critical
By reviewing imaging at different stages, we can:

Understand the full scope of the brain injury
Correlate the timing of the damage
Strengthen the causation argument

When you combine MRI timing with the medical records and clinical history, you can pinpoint when the injury occurred—and whether it could have been prevented.

If your child was diagnosed with PVL, the timing and interpretation of MRIs can play a major role in your case.

The MRI Timeline That Proves PVL Negligence

In every birth injury case, there are three things we have to prove:

👉 Liability, damages… and causation.

And in PVL cases, causation often comes down to one critical issue:

👉 When did the brain injury actually occur?

In this video, I break down how birth injury lawyers build a timeline to determine whether PVL happened:

During pregnancy
During labor and delivery
Or after birth in the NICU

Because that timing can determine whether a case is malpractice — or not.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

How MRI and radiology findings help determine timing of brain injury
How fetal monitoring and delivery records reveal what happened during labor
How NICU records (including ventilation and oxygen levels) show post-delivery causes
How all of these records are combined to prove causation

In these cases, we don’t guess.

👉 We reconstruct a timeline of events and connect it directly to the injury.

If your child has been diagnosed with PVL and you’re trying to understand what happened…

The answer is usually already in the records.

The Timeline That PROVES What Caused Your Baby’s Brain Injury (PVL Cases)

When a premature baby is diagnosed with PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), one of the most important questions is:

👉 Did something go wrong in the NICU?

In this video, I explain how birth injury lawyers use one of the most powerful — and most overlooked — pieces of evidence:

👉 The NICU flow sheet

This is a minute-by-minute medical record that tracks exactly what was happening to your baby in the NICU, including:

Oxygen saturation levels
Ventilator settings
Heart rate and vital signs
Staff responses and interventions

Here’s what matters most in these cases:

👉 How much instability occurred… and how long it lasted

Because when oxygen levels are too high or too low for too long, it can lead to brain injury like PVL.

In this video, I break down:

What NICU flow sheets are and how they’re used
How lawyers build a timeline of oxygen and ventilation issues
How we evaluate whether the NICU staff responded appropriately
How these records can prove negligence and causation

If your child was in the NICU and later diagnosed with PVL, these records may already contain the answers.

The NICU Record That Can Prove Your Baby’s Brain Injury

When a baby suffers facial paralysis during birth, most people focus on the nerve injury.

But there’s a second, often overlooked danger:

Damage to the eye itself.

Here’s why this matters.

Facial paralysis can prevent a baby from fully closing their eyelid. That means the eye is constantly exposed—without the natural protection of blinking.

And when that happens, the consequences can be serious:

Drying of the eye surface
Corneal damage and scarring
Infection
Permanent vision loss

This is not a rare complication—it’s something medical providers are trained to anticipate and prevent.

The standard of care includes:
✔️ Monitoring whether the baby can blink
✔️ Protecting the eye with lubrication or taping
✔️ Early involvement of an ophthalmologist

When those basic steps are missed, a nerve injury can turn into a lifelong vision problem.

👨‍⚖️ I’m Adam Funk, a birth injury lawyer. I handle cases involving preventable injuries during labor and delivery.

If your child had facial paralysis at birth and later developed eye or vision problems, you should ask:

Was the eye properly protected?

Facial Paralysis at Birth: The Eye Injury Doctors Miss

Can facial paralysis at birth cause feeding problems in newborns?

In this video, birth injury lawyer Adam Funk explains how facial paralysis in newborns can lead to serious feeding difficulties during the first days of life.

Facial paralysis can sometimes occur during difficult deliveries, particularly when a baby becomes stuck in the birth canal and instruments such as forceps or vacuum extractors are used to assist with delivery. If excessive traction or pressure is applied, the facial nerve may become stretched, compressed, or damaged.

The facial nerve controls many of the muscles responsible for:

• Closing the mouth
• Creating suction for feeding
• Coordinating swallowing
• Facial movement

When these muscles do not function properly, newborns may struggle with latching, sucking, and swallowing, which can lead to feeding difficulties shortly after birth.

If feeding problems are not recognized and managed quickly, babies may face additional complications such as poor weight gain, dehydration, or malnutrition. For this reason, careful monitoring and appropriate treatment are essential when facial nerve injury is suspected.

If your child developed facial paralysis or feeding difficulties after a difficult delivery, it may be important to understand exactly what occurred during labor and delivery.

Shoulder Dystocia, Facial Paralysis & Eye Damage: Why Eye Protection After Birth Matters

When a baby becomes stuck during delivery, doctors must act quickly to prevent oxygen deprivation. However, complications from delivery maneuvers can sometimes lead to additional injuries — including facial nerve damage.

In this video, I explain why eye protection is critical when facial paralysis occurs after birth, and how failing to protect a newborn’s eyes can lead to permanent vision problems.

What Is Shoulder Dystocia?

Shoulder dystocia occurs when a baby’s head delivers but one of the shoulders becomes trapped behind the mother’s pubic bone. This prevents the baby from fully exiting the birth canal and creates a dangerous situation because the baby may begin losing oxygen.

To resolve shoulder dystocia, doctors may use several techniques, including:

• Manual delivery maneuvers
• Vacuum extraction
• Forceps-assisted delivery

In some cases, excessive traction or instrument use can damage the facial nerves.

How Facial Paralysis Can Affect a Newborn

Facial nerve injury may cause:

• Weakness on one side of the face
• Difficulty feeding
• Problems closing one eye
• Reduced or absent blinking

Blinking plays an important role in protecting and lubricating the surface of the eye.

If a baby cannot blink normally, the eye may become dry and vulnerable to:

• Corneal ulcers
• Scarring
• Permanent vision loss

Why Eye Protection Is Important

When facial paralysis is present after birth, medical providers should take steps to protect the eye. This may include:

• Lubricating eye drops or ointment
• Taping the eyelid closed during sleep
• Monitoring the eye for signs of dryness or injury

Without proper protection, a temporary nerve injury can lead to permanent damage to the eye.

If your child:
• Experienced shoulder dystocia during delivery
• Was delivered using forceps or vacuum extraction
• Had facial paralysis at birth
• Had difficulty blinking or closing an eye
• Later developed eye injuries or vision problems

…it may be important to understand whether proper care was provided after delivery.

Birth Trauma: How Shoulder Dystocia Can Affect the Face and Eyes

Central vs. Peripheral Facial Paralysis at Birth: What’s the Difference?

Not all facial paralysis in newborns is the same.

Understanding the difference between central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis can be critical in determining what happened during labor and delivery — and what it may mean for your child’s recovery.

In this video, I explain:

🔎 Central Facial Paralysis

This type of paralysis is caused by brain injury, often related to:
• Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia)
• Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Stroke during delivery
• Other neurological injury

When the brain areas that control facial movement are damaged, parts of the face may not move properly. Central paralysis often affects the lower face differently than the forehead and may be associated with other neurological symptoms.

🔎 Peripheral Facial Paralysis

Peripheral paralysis involves damage to the facial nerve itself, outside the brain.

This type of injury can occur when:
• A baby becomes stuck in the birth canal
• Forceps are used improperly
• A vacuum extractor is applied with excessive force
• Significant pressure is placed on the baby’s face during delivery

In these cases, the nerve controlling facial movement can be injured, sometimes resulting in:

• Drooping on one side of the face
• Difficulty closing one eye
• Asymmetrical crying
• Weakness in facial muscles

Some peripheral nerve injuries resolve over time. Others can be permanent, depending on severity.

Determining whether the paralysis is central (brain-related) or peripheral (nerve-related) can significantly impact both medical treatment and legal evaluation.

If your child:
• Was diagnosed with facial paralysis at birth
• Required forceps or vacuum extraction
• Experienced oxygen deprivation
• Was admitted to the NICU

…it may be important to understand what caused the injury.

I focus exclusively on birth injury cases involving oxygen deprivation, excessive force during delivery, and neurological injury.

If you have questions about your child’s diagnosis, I would be happy to speak with you.

Facial Paralysis in Newborns: What Type Does Your Baby Have?

Positioning Errors During Labor and Facial Nerve Injury Explained

Facial paralysis in a newborn can sometimes be caused by positioning errors during labor and delivery.

During childbirth, a baby may be positioned in a way that places excessive pressure on the face. When that happens, the facial nerve — specifically the seventh cranial nerve — can become compressed. This compression can lead to temporary or, in more serious cases, permanent facial nerve damage.

Signs of a facial nerve injury in a newborn may include:

• Difficulty blinking on one side
• Uneven smiling or facial movement
• Jaw asymmetry
• Weakness on one side of the face

In many cases, mild compression injuries resolve on their own. However, prolonged compression — especially during extended labor or when the baby is in an abnormal position — can lead to lasting facial paralysis.

Risk factors may include:

• Prolonged labor
• Large baby (macrosomia)
• Abnormal fetal positioning
• Facial compression against the pubic bone

Obstetricians and nurses are responsible for monitoring fetal position and recognizing when prolonged pressure or abnormal positioning may create risk. When facial nerve injuries occur, the labor timeline and positioning details are important to review.

If your newborn was diagnosed with facial paralysis after delivery and you have questions about whether it was caused by positioning or prolonged labor, it’s important to understand what happened during labor and delivery.

When Improper Positioning Leads to Facial Paralysis at Birth

Vacuum extractions are commonly used during labor and delivery — but when used improperly, they can cause serious birth injuries.

In this video, Houston birth injury attorney Adam Funk explains how vacuum extraction works, how it can lead to facial paralysis, and what medical guidelines doctors are required to follow.

A vacuum extraction involves placing a suction cup on the baby’s head while the baby is still in the birth canal. The physician then uses controlled traction to assist with delivery. In many cases, it’s safe and effective. However, when excessive force is used or guidelines are ignored, the risks increase significantly.

Improper vacuum use can result in:

• Facial nerve injuries
• Facial paralysis
• Scalp trauma
• Bleeding (including subgaleal hemorrhage)
• Brain injury

To determine whether malpractice occurred, several key factors must be reviewed in the medical records:

• How much suction pressure was applied?
• How many “pop-offs” occurred during the procedure?
• How much traction force was used?
• Was the procedure continued beyond recommended safety limits?

Newborn facial nerves are extremely delicate. Excessive pulling or repeated vacuum detachments can stretch or compress these nerves, leading to weakness, drooping, or permanent facial paralysis.

If your baby has been diagnosed with facial paralysis or another injury following a vacuum-assisted delivery, it is important to understand whether proper standards of care were followed.

If you have questions about vacuum extraction injuries, facial nerve damage, or potential birth injury malpractice in Texas, this video provides important guidance for parents seeking answers.

Did a Vacuum Delivery Cause Your Baby’s Facial Paralysis?

Can high bilirubin levels cause brain damage in newborns?

In this video, birth injury lawyer Adam Funk explains how failing to monitor elevated bilirubin levels in newborns can lead to a serious and preventable brain injury called kernicterus.

Bilirubin is a substance produced when red blood cells break down. Normally, the liver processes bilirubin and removes it from the body. However, in newborn babies—especially during the first few days of life—the liver may not yet be developed enough to eliminate bilirubin efficiently.

When bilirubin builds up in the bloodstream, babies can develop jaundice, which causes the skin and eyes to appear yellow.

While mild jaundice is common, dangerously high bilirubin levels can cross into the brain and damage brain tissue. This condition is known as kernicterus, and it can cause lifelong neurological injuries such as:

• Cerebral palsy
• Hearing loss
• Developmental delays
• Movement disorders

Because bilirubin levels often peak 24–48 hours after birth, doctors and nurses must carefully monitor newborns with elevated bilirubin levels through blood tests and follow-up testing.

If bilirubin levels continue to rise and are not treated promptly, a preventable brain injury can occur. Fortunately, early treatment—such as phototherapy—can lower bilirubin levels and prevent permanent damage.

If your child suffered brain injury, kernicterus, or complications from untreated jaundice, it may be important to review whether bilirubin levels were properly monitored and treated.

When Doctors Fail to Monitor Bilirubin in Newborns

Discharged Too Early After Jaundice? The Risk of Kernicterus in Newborns

Sending a newborn home too early after jaundice can be life-threatening if bilirubin levels are not properly monitored.

In this video, I explain why early discharge without appropriate bilirubin testing can lead to kernicterus, a preventable form of brain damage.

What Is Jaundice?

Jaundice occurs when a baby has elevated levels of bilirubin, a waste product formed when red blood cells break down.

In adults, the liver removes bilirubin efficiently. But in newborns — especially in the first few days of life — the liver is still immature and may not clear bilirubin fast enough.

Mild jaundice is common and often treated with phototherapy, a non-invasive blue light treatment that helps break down bilirubin.

When Does It Become Dangerous?

Bilirubin levels typically peak around 3–5 days after birth — often after a baby has already been discharged.

If bilirubin continues to rise and is not properly monitored, it can cross into the brain and cause kernicterus, leading to permanent neurological injury.

Warning signs may include:

• Poor feeding
• Lethargy
• High-pitched crying
• Arching of the back
• Breathing difficulties
• Decreased responsiveness

Kernicterus can result in:

• Cerebral palsy
• Hearing loss
• Movement disorders
• Developmental delays
• Lifelong neurological impairment

Hospital Responsibility

Hospitals are expected to:

• Test bilirubin levels before discharge
• Plot results on standardized nomograms
• Identify risk factors (such as ABO incompatibility or prematurity)
• Arrange proper follow-up testing after discharge

Discharging a baby without ensuring safe bilirubin levels and follow-up care can have devastating consequences.

If your child:
• Was discharged and later readmitted for high bilirubin
• Required exchange transfusion
• Developed kernicterus
• Was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy or hearing loss

…it may be important to review whether proper monitoring occurred.

I focus exclusively on birth injury cases involving preventable brain damage, including kernicterus and failures to monitor bilirubin levels.

When Early Discharge Leads to Brain Damage in Newborns

Failure to Monitor Bilirubin & the Risk of Kernicterus (Newborn Jaundice Explained)

Why is monitoring bilirubin in newborns so important? And when does jaundice become dangerous?

In this video, I explain how high bilirubin levels can lead to permanent brain damage if not properly monitored and treated.

What is bilirubin?
Bilirubin is a waste product created when red blood cells break down. In adults, the liver removes bilirubin from the bloodstream. But in newborns, the liver is often immature and may not clear bilirubin effectively.

When bilirubin builds up, it causes jaundice — a yellowing of the skin and eyes.

Most newborn jaundice is treatable and resolves without issue. However, if bilirubin levels become too high and are not properly monitored, it can cross into the brain and cause kernicterus, a form of permanent brain damage.

Hospitals are expected to:

• Test bilirubin levels before discharge
• Plot levels on standardized bilirubin nomograms
• Monitor trends over time
• Identify risk factors
• Initiate phototherapy when necessary
• Ensure safe follow-up after discharge

Treatment often includes phototherapy (blue light therapy), which helps break down bilirubin in the bloodstream. In severe cases, more aggressive treatment may be required.

Certain newborns are at higher risk and require even closer monitoring, including those with:

• ABO blood incompatibility
• Rh incompatibility
• G6PD deficiency
• Prematurity
• Bruising from delivery
• Poor feeding or dehydration

When hospitals fail to monitor bilirubin levels appropriately — or fail to act when levels are rising — the consequences can be devastating.

Kernicterus can lead to:
• Cerebral palsy
• Hearing loss
• Movement disorders
• Developmental delays
• Permanent neurological injury

If your child developed severe jaundice, required readmission, underwent exchange transfusion, or was later diagnosed with brain injury, it may be important to review whether proper monitoring occurred.

I focus exclusively on birth injury cases involving preventable brain damage, including kernicterus and failures to monitor bilirubin levels.

If you have questions about your child’s diagnosis, I would be happy to speak with you.

When Doctors Fail to Monitor Bilirubin—Brain Damage Risk

Breastfeeding Jaundice: When Is It Dangerous? | Adam Funk Birth Injury Lawyer

Many newborns develop jaundice — but what happens when it’s labeled “breastfeeding jaundice”? Is it always harmless?

In this video, I explain:

• What bilirubin is and why newborns develop jaundice
• How the newborn liver processes bilirubin differently than adults
• The difference between breastfeeding jaundice and other types of jaundice
• Why bilirubin levels MUST be monitored and charted
• How untreated high bilirubin can lead to kernicterus (permanent brain damage)
• When phototherapy should be started

Jaundice itself is common. But the danger isn’t the label — it’s the bilirubin number.

If bilirubin rises too high and treatment is delayed, it can cross into the brain and cause irreversible injury. That’s why testing, charting, and monitoring are critical — even when doctors say it’s “just breastfeeding jaundice.”

If your child suffered complications from high bilirubin levels, it’s important to understand whether proper monitoring and treatment occurred.

Breastfeeding Jaundice: When Is It Dangerous?

G6PD Deficiency, Severe Jaundice & Kernicterus | What Parents Need to Know

G6PD deficiency is a genetic condition that can put newborns at serious risk for severe jaundice and permanent brain injury if not properly monitored.

In this video, birth injury attorney Adam Funk explains how G6PD deficiency affects red blood cells, why it causes elevated bilirubin levels, and how untreated jaundice can progress to kernicterus — a preventable form of brain damage.

Here’s what parents should understand:

• G6PD deficiency causes increased breakdown of red blood cells
• This leads to higher levels of bilirubin in the baby’s body
• Newborn livers are not mature enough to clear bilirubin efficiently
• Excess bilirubin can cross into the brain
• When bilirubin damages brain tissue, it is called kernicterus

Kernicterus can lead to:

• Cerebral palsy
• Hearing loss
• Movement disorders
• Developmental delays
• Lifelong neurological injury

Because G6PD deficiency is a known risk factor for severe jaundice, medical providers must be especially vigilant. That means early screening, frequent bilirubin testing, close monitoring after birth, and prompt treatment when levels begin to rise.

With proper monitoring and timely intervention, kernicterus is largely preventable.

If your child was diagnosed with severe jaundice, kernicterus, or bilirubin-related brain injury, it may be important to review whether appropriate screening and monitoring occurred.

Severe Jaundice in Babies: The Hidden Risk of G6PD Deficiency

Rh Incompatibility Explained: How It Can Lead to Jaundice and Brain Injury

Rh incompatibility occurs when a mother’s blood type is Rh-negative and her baby’s blood type is Rh-positive. When this happens, the mother’s immune system may recognize the baby’s blood cells as foreign and produce antibodies that attack the baby’s red blood cells.

When those red blood cells break down, they release bilirubin — a substance that can build up in a newborn’s bloodstream.

Newborns have immature livers and may not be able to clear bilirubin efficiently. If bilirubin levels rise too high, it can cross into the brain and cause serious and permanent brain injury known as kernicterus.

The good news is that Rh incompatibility is highly preventable and manageable in modern medicine.

Pregnant mothers are routinely tested early in pregnancy to determine blood type and Rh status. If a mother is Rh-negative, she can receive an injection called RhoGAM, which prevents her immune system from forming antibodies that would attack the baby’s blood.

When properly identified and treated, Rh incompatibility rarely leads to severe complications. Problems arise when testing is missed, monitoring is inadequate, or elevated bilirubin levels are not treated promptly after birth.

If your child experienced severe jaundice, elevated bilirubin, or was diagnosed with kernicterus, it is important to review the medical timeline carefully.

This Blood Type Issue Can Cause Kernicterus—And Be Missed

Many people assume shoulder dystocia malpractice cases are only about what happened during the actual delivery. But in reality, some of the strongest evidence of negligence occurs long before labor even begins.

Shoulder dystocia happens when a baby’s shoulder becomes trapped behind the mother’s pubic bone during delivery. It is a true obstetrical emergency because excessive force or improper maneuvers can cause devastating injuries, including:
• Brachial plexus injuries
• Erb’s palsy
• Nerve damage
• Fractures
• Hypoxic brain injury
• Permanent disability

The critical legal issue in many of these cases is foreseeability.

Doctors are expected to recognize major risk factors during pregnancy that increase the likelihood of shoulder dystocia and then make appropriate delivery plans to protect both mother and baby.

Some of the biggest risk factors include:
• Large fetal size (macrosomia)
• Gestational diabetes
• Maternal obesity
• Prior shoulder dystocia deliveries
• Excessive maternal weight gain
• Prolonged labor or labor arrest disorders

When these warning signs are present, doctors may need to:
• Recommend a C-section
• Counsel the mother about risks
• Prepare the delivery team for an emergency
• Avoid dangerous delivery techniques
• Closely monitor labor progression

In many birth injury lawsuits, the argument is not simply that shoulder dystocia occurred — because sometimes it happens despite proper care. The issue is whether the doctor should have anticipated it and prepared appropriately beforehand.

At Funk Law Group, we handle complex shoulder dystocia and birth injury cases throughout Texas. We investigate prenatal records, ultrasound measurements, labor progression, fetal size estimates, delivery decisions, and hospital preparation to determine whether preventable medical negligence occurred.

If your child suffered a brachial plexus injury, Erb’s palsy, or another birth injury after becoming stuck during delivery, you may have legal rights.

The Biggest Mistake in Shoulder Dystocia Cases Happens BEFORE Labor

In many shoulder dystocia birth injury cases, one of the most important pieces of evidence has nothing to do with the delivery record itself. Instead, it comes from the hospital’s internal training programs and emergency simulation drills.

Hospitals know that shoulder dystocia is a dangerous obstetrical emergency where a baby’s shoulder becomes trapped during delivery. Because of that, nurses and labor & delivery staff are often required to complete simulation training using specialized birthing models designed to recreate these emergencies in real time.

These simulations are supposed to prepare the medical team to respond quickly, communicate effectively, use the proper maneuvers, and avoid excessive traction that can permanently injure a baby.

But in litigation, those training records can reveal major problems:
• Was the nurse properly trained?
• How often was simulation training performed?
• Were competency checks completed?
• Did the hospital ignore poor performance?
• Did the nurse fail prior simulations?
• Were emergency protocols actually followed during the real delivery?

In many cases involving brachial plexus injuries, Erb’s palsy, hypoxic brain injuries, or other catastrophic birth injuries, these training modules become critical evidence in proving negligence against the hospital or medical staff.

At Funk Law Group, we investigate shoulder dystocia and birth injury cases throughout Texas and obtain the internal training records, nurse competency evaluations, and emergency simulation materials that hospitals often do not voluntarily discuss with families.

If your child suffered a birth injury after becoming stuck in the birth canal during delivery, you may have important legal rights.

The Hospital Trained for Shoulder Dystocia… So Why Did Everything Go Wrong?

In shoulder dystocia cases, one of the most powerful pieces of evidence isn’t always what the doctor says…

👉 It’s what the nurse wrote down.

In this video, I explain why nurse testimony can make or break a birth injury case involving shoulder dystocia and Brachial Plexus Injury.

Here’s the reality:

Doctors often document events in a way that supports their decision-making—
claiming the proper maneuvers were used, in the correct order, with appropriate force.

But nurses?

They’re in the room the entire time.
They’re documenting in real time.
And their notes are often far more detailed.

Here’s what we look for:

👉 Nurse’s notes vs. doctor’s notes
Do they match—or do they tell completely different stories?

👉 Sequence of maneuvers
If a nurse documents a different order than the doctor, that can be critical evidence.

👉 Level of detail and timing
Nurses often capture what actually happened as it unfolded.

When there’s a discrepancy, we use that testimony—especially in depositions—to uncover the truth and prove what really happened during delivery.

In many cases, the nurse isn’t just a witness…

👉 They’re the key to winning the case.

If your child suffered a brachial plexus injury during a shoulder dystocia delivery, the details in the records—and who wrote them—can change everything.

The Nurse’s Notes That Can Win Your Shoulder Dystocia Case

In shoulder dystocia cases, one of the most important—and most difficult—questions is:

👉 How do you prove how much force the doctor actually used?

There’s no device that measures force during delivery. So how do birth injury lawyers prove it?

In this video, I break down the three key ways we build that case using circumstantial evidence.

First, we analyze the medical records.
We look at:

What maneuvers were documented
What the doctor claims they did
What the nurses recorded in real time

Second, we reconstruct the sequence of events.
The order of maneuvers matters. If a doctor skips safer techniques and immediately applies traction, that can be evidence of excessive force.

Third—and often most powerful—we examine the injury itself.

Injuries to the brachial plexus can tell us a lot.

Mild injuries may suggest stretching
More severe injuries—like nerve root avulsions—can indicate extreme force was used

When you combine:

The records
The sequence
And the injury pattern

👉 That’s how you prove excessive force in a shoulder dystocia case.

If your child suffered a brachial plexus injury during delivery, the details matter—and they may tell a very different story than what’s written in the chart.

The 3 Ways We Prove a Doctor Pulled Too Hard

In shoulder dystocia cases, everything comes down to what the doctor actually did during the emergency.

Because even though shoulder dystocia is a true medical emergency…

👉 There is a very specific sequence of maneuvers that doctors are trained to follow.

And when those steps are not followed correctly, serious injuries like brachial plexus damage, Erb’s palsy, or Klumpke’s palsy can occur.

In this video, I break down:

The first critical step doctors must take: recognizing shoulder dystocia immediately
The proper use of the McRoberts maneuver
When and how suprapubic pressure should be applied
The role of rotational maneuvers in safely delivering the baby
Why pulling too hard can cause permanent nerve injury

The key legal question in these cases is:

👉 Did the doctor follow the correct sequence of maneuvers — or rely on force instead?

Because if proper technique wasn’t used…

That’s how these cases are proven.

If These Maneuvers Weren’t Used… You May Have a Case

In almost every shoulder dystocia case, the defense says the same thing:

👉 “This was an unavoidable emergency.”

But here’s the truth:

Calling something an emergency does NOT excuse negligent care.

In this video, I break down how birth injury lawyers challenge this defense and prove liability — even when things happen quickly during delivery.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why shoulder dystocia is considered an emergency — and why that’s not the end of the case
The risk factors doctors should recognize before delivery even begins
The proper techniques (like the McRoberts maneuver) doctors are required to use
How excessive force and improper technique can cause brachial plexus injuries
Why failing to prepare or respond appropriately can still be medical malpractice

The key question in these cases is:

👉 Did the doctor act like a reasonably careful physician — even in an emergency?

If the answer is no…

That’s how these cases are proven.

📞 If your child suffered a brachial plexus injury such as Erb’s palsy or Klumpke’s palsy after a shoulder dystocia, you may have a case. I’m happy to review your situation and help you understand your options.

Unavoidable Emergency’? Here’s How We PROVE That’s Not True (Shoulder Dystocia)

One of the most important parts of a birth injury lawsuit is something most people have never heard of:

A life care plan.

In severe HIE and cerebral palsy cases, a child may require millions of dollars in future medical treatment, therapy, nursing care, equipment, and home modifications over the course of their lifetime.

But how does a jury determine what that future care will cost?

That’s where a certified life care planner comes in.

In this video, I explain:
• What a life care plan is
• How experts calculate future medical costs
• Why home modifications and nursing care matter
• How economists determine present value damages
• And why life care plans often drive multi-million dollar verdicts in birth injury cases

A life care plan is more than just numbers on paper — it becomes the roadmap for a jury to understand what a catastrophically injured child will need for the rest of their life.

The $20 Million Document Hidden Inside Many Birth Injury Lawsuits

In many HIE and cerebral palsy birth injury lawsuits, the pediatric neurologist becomes one of the most important expert witnesses in the entire case.

Why?

Because pediatric neurologists help prove both:
• Liability — what caused the brain injury
• Damages — how severe and permanent the injury will be

In this video, I explain how pediatric neurologists analyze MRIs, ultrasounds, CT scans, and other radiology studies to determine when oxygen deprivation occurred and how it damaged the brain.

I also discuss how these experts help juries understand:
• The severity of cerebral palsy and HIE injuries
• Long-term neurological deficits
• Developmental delays and seizure disorders
• Future prognosis and permanency of injury

In many cases, their testimony can make or break a birth injury lawsuit.

The Most Powerful Witness in a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit

In almost every Cerebral Palsy case, the defense will argue the same thing:

👉 “The injury didn’t happen during labor and delivery.”

They’ll claim it happened:

During pregnancy
After birth at home
Or later in the NICU

Why? Because if they can move the timing, they move the blame.

So how do we prove the truth?

In this video, I break down exactly how we defeat the most common defense in a CP case.

👉 Fetal heart rate tracings
We analyze the monitoring strips to determine whether the baby was deprived of oxygen during labor.
These tracings show us:

When distress began
How severe it was
And whether intervention was required

👉 NICU records
We review oxygen levels, ventilation, and the baby’s condition immediately after birth to determine whether the injury was already present—or developed later.

👉 Radiology (MRI & ultrasound)
Brain imaging helps us time the injury. Certain patterns can indicate whether the damage occurred during labor, earlier in pregnancy, or after delivery.

When we combine:

The monitoring strips
The NICU course
And the imaging

👉 We build a timeline that shows exactly when the injury occurred.

And that’s how we beat the defense.

Because in cerebral palsy cases, whoever controls the timeline…
controls the case.

If your child has CP and you’re trying to understand what really happened, the answer is in the records—and in the timing.

The #1 Defense in Cerebral Palsy Cases—And How We Beat It

If your child has Cerebral Palsy, one of the most important questions in a birth injury case is:

👉 Did the doctors and nurses wait too long to act?

In this video, I break down exactly how we prove that delayed intervention caused brain injury during labor and delivery.

Cerebral palsy is often the result of oxygen deprivation to the brain. So the first step is identifying when that oxygen loss occurred—and what the medical team did about it.

Here’s how we do it:

👉 Fetal heart monitoring strips
These show us when the baby started experiencing distress and losing oxygen.
We analyze:

Decelerations in heart rate
Loss of variability
Patterns consistent with oxygen deprivation

👉 Building the timeline
We map out:

When distress began
What interventions were attempted
How long it took for the medical team to respond
Whether delivery should have happened sooner

👉 Supporting records (NICU + imaging)
We use NICU records and radiology to confirm whether the injury is consistent with delayed intervention during labor.

When all of this lines up, it tells us one critical thing:

👉 Whether the delay caused the brain injury.

If your child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and you’re trying to understand what happened during delivery, the answer is often found in the timing—and in the response.

Did Doctors Wait Too Long? How We Prove Delay Caused Cerebral Palsy

If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, one of the most important questions is:

👉 Was it caused by genetics… or by something that happened during labor and delivery?

In this video, we break down how birth injury lawyers determine whether cerebral palsy was preventable or unavoidable.

Cerebral palsy is not a diagnosis by itself—it’s a result of a brain injury. The key is figuring out when that injury occurred.

Here’s how we do it:

👉 Step 1: Analyze the pregnancy history
We review the entire pregnancy to look for:

Genetic conditions
Developmental abnormalities
Any signs of pre-existing issues

If those are present, the injury may have occurred before labor.

👉 Step 2: Examine labor and delivery records
We focus on fetal heart monitoring strips to determine whether the baby experienced oxygen deprivation during labor.

Signs of distress on these strips can point to a preventable injury.

👉 Step 3: Evaluate the baby’s condition at birth
We look at:

Immediate medical condition
Blood gas results (acidosis)
Early symptoms after delivery

These help establish the timing of the brain injury.

👉 Step 4: Expert neurological analysis
A pediatric neurologist reviews the records to determine whether the brain injury occurred:

Before birth (genetic or developmental), or
During labor and delivery (potential malpractice)

These cases come down to one critical issue:
👉 When did the brain injury actually happen?

Cerebral Palsy: Genetic or Malpractice? How We PROVE the Difference

Proving that cerebral palsy was caused by a birth injury is one of the most difficult things to do in a medical malpractice case.

Why?

Because not every case of cerebral palsy is due to negligence.

In this video, I break down the 4 critical steps birth injury lawyers use to prove a case — and what separates a valid claim from an unavoidable outcome.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why some cerebral palsy cases are not malpractice
The importance of identifying a specific cause or event
How lawyers build a timeline of fetal distress and medical decisions
How we determine when the brain injury actually occurred
Why preventability is the key to winning a case

In every case, the central question is:

👉 Could this injury have been prevented if the medical team acted appropriately?

We use fetal monitoring strips, NICU records, MRIs, and expert analysis to connect all the dots — and prove whether a mistake led to lifelong injury.

If your child has cerebral palsy and you’re trying to understand what happened…

This is where the process starts.

Cerebral Palsy Lawsuits: The 4 Things You MUST Prove to Win

Cooling therapy — also known as therapeutic hypothermia — is one of the most important pieces of evidence in many HIE birth injury lawsuits.

Why?

Because hospitals do not place babies into cooling therapy unless the medical team suspects oxygen deprivation occurred during labor and delivery.

In this video, I explain:
• What cooling therapy is
• Why neonatology teams use it
• How it slows inflammatory brain damage after oxygen deprivation
• Why acidic cord gases matter
• And how cooling therapy records can become powerful evidence in court

In many cases, the hospital later tries to argue that the child’s injury was genetic or unavoidable. But the fact that the baby was immediately placed into cooling therapy may tell a very different story.

If your child was diagnosed with HIE, cerebral palsy, seizures, or developmental delays after birth, understanding why cooling therapy was initiated may be critical to understanding whether medical malpractice occurred.

Cooling Therapy May Be the Hospital’s Biggest Admission in an HIE Lawsuit

One of the most common defenses in an HIE birth injury lawsuit is the claim that the baby’s brain injury was caused by a genetic condition — not oxygen deprivation during labor and delivery.

In this video, I explain how birth injury lawyers and medical experts fight back against that defense. We discuss the role of geneticists, fetal heart monitoring strips, MRIs, ultrasounds, and other medical evidence used to prove that a preventable hypoxic event caused the injury.

Hospitals and insurance companies often try to shift blame away from labor and delivery mistakes. But in many cases, the records tell a very different story.

If your child was diagnosed with HIE, cerebral palsy, seizures, or developmental delays after birth, understanding the true cause of the injury is critical.

The Hospital Says “It Was Genetics.” Here’s How Birth Injury Lawyers Prove It Was HIE.

In cases involving Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, everything comes down to one thing:

👉 The timeline.

Hospitals and doctors will often argue that your baby’s brain injury happened before labor or after delivery—anywhere except when they were responsible.

So how do we prove the truth?

In this video, I explain how we build a timeline that proves the injury occurred during labor and delivery—and could have been prevented.

Here’s how it works:

👉 Fetal heart monitoring strips
These show us exactly when your baby started experiencing oxygen deprivation.
We look for:

Decelerations in heart rate
Minimal or absent variability
Patterns that indicate distress

👉 Labor and delivery records
We match the timing of distress with what the medical team did—or failed to do.
This is where we prove breach of the standard of care.

👉 Radiological imaging (MRI/Ultrasound)
Certain patterns of brain injury can tell us when the damage occurred—helping us confirm that it happened during labor, not before or after.

When you line all of this up, you get a clear answer to the most important question in any birth injury case:

When did the injury actually happen?

Because in HIE cases, whoever controls the timeline…
controls the case.

If your child suffered a brain injury and you’re trying to understand what really happened, the timeline is where your case begins.

The Timeline That Wins (or Loses) an HIE Birth Injury Case

One of the most common defenses in Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy cases is this:

👉 “The brain injury didn’t happen during delivery—it happened later.”

In this video, I break down how we use NICU records to prove that’s not true.

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) records are some of the most powerful evidence in a birth injury case because they show exactly what was happening to your baby immediately after birth.

Here’s what we look for:

👉 Level of resuscitation and ventilation
If a baby requires immediate and aggressive support right after birth, that strongly suggests the injury already occurred during labor or delivery—not later.

👉 Cooling therapy (hypothermic treatment)
This treatment is specifically used for babies with suspected oxygen deprivation at birth. Its presence in the records can be a key indicator of when the injury happened.

👉 Ongoing oxygen levels and response
If the baby never stabilizes early on, it supports a diagnosis of a birth-related hypoxic injury.

👉 Head circumference and growth indicators
If the baby’s head size is normal at birth, it often rules out long-term issues during pregnancy and instead points to an acute event during delivery.

When you line all of this up, the NICU records don’t just show treatment—
They show when the damage had already been done.

If your child was diagnosed with HIE or suffered brain damage after birth, the timing of that injury is everything—and it can make or break your case.

Hospitals Say the Brain Injury Happened Later—NICU Records Prove Them Wrong

If your baby suffered brain damage at birth, the case often comes down to one thing:

👉 What do the medical records actually show?

In this video, we break down the most important records birth injury lawyers use to prove oxygen deprivation and negligence during labor and delivery.

These records tell the story of when distress happened, whether it was recognized, and how the medical team responded.

Here are the key records that matter most:

👉 1. Fetal heart rate monitoring strips
This is the most important evidence. It tracks contractions and the baby’s heart rate at the same time, showing exactly when the baby was in distress and not getting enough oxygen.

👉 2. Nurse’s notes
These notes should reflect what’s happening on the fetal monitoring strips.
If the strips show distress—but the notes don’t—it raises serious concerns about failure to monitor or recognize warning signs.

👉 3. Doctor’s notes and orders
We look at whether the physician was aware of the situation and how they responded.
Delays, lack of documentation, or failure to act can all point to negligence.

👉 4. Cord blood gases
These tests measure the baby’s pH levels at birth.
A low (acidic) pH can indicate oxygen deprivation, helping establish the timing and severity of the injury.

👉 5. APGAR scores
Taken at 1, 5, and 10 minutes after birth, these scores show the baby’s condition immediately after delivery—including breathing, heart rate, and responsiveness.

When you line these records up together, they create a timeline that answers the most important question:
👉 Was the baby deprived of oxygen—and could it have been prevented?

These Records Win Brain Damage Birth Injury Lawsuits

If your baby suffered brain damage during labor, one of the most important questions is:

👉 Did the doctor wait too long to perform a C-section?

In this video, we break down how birth injury lawyers prove that a delayed C-section caused brain damage.

When a baby is in distress and not getting enough oxygen, it often shows up on the fetal heart monitoring strips. At that point, doctors may decide that an emergency C-section is necessary to get the baby out safely.

But making the decision isn’t enough.
👉 The key is how quickly that C-section is actually performed.

Here’s how we prove these cases:

👉 Step 1: Identify when distress started
We analyze the fetal monitoring strips to pinpoint exactly when the baby began showing signs of oxygen deprivation.

👉 Step 2: Track the response
We determine:

When the doctor decided on a C-section
When the surgery actually began

This is known as the decision-to-incision timeframe.

👉 Step 3: Build the timeline
We connect:

The onset of distress
The decision to operate
The delay in performing the C-section

If there was a delay beyond what is considered safe, it can directly contribute to oxygen deprivation and brain injury.

👉 Step 4: Expert analysis
OB/GYN experts review the records to determine whether the delay fell below the standard of care—and whether a faster delivery would have prevented the injury.

These cases often come down to one critical issue:

The 30-Minute Rule That Can Make or Break a Birth Injury Case

One of the most powerful pieces of evidence in a birth injury case is the fetal heart monitoring strip—and most families have no idea how important it is.

In this video, I break down:

What a fetal heart monitoring strip actually shows
How doctors track contractions vs. your baby’s heart rate
The #1 pattern that signals oxygen deprivation: late decelerations
Why recurrent late decelerations should trigger immediate action
How failure to act can lead to brain damage and HIE (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy)
And most importantly—how this evidence is used to prove negligence in a birth injury lawsuit

Late decelerations aren’t subtle. When they appear repeatedly, they are a clear warning sign that a baby is not getting enough oxygen. At that point, the medical team must act—whether that’s repositioning the mother, giving oxygen, or moving to an emergency C-section.

When they don’t… that’s where cases are won.

If your child suffered a brain injury and you suspect something was missed on the fetal monitoring strip, you may have a case.

How We PROVE Birth Injury Cases Using This One Strip

Klumpke’s palsy is a serious—and often preventable—birth injury that affects a baby’s hand and lower arm.

It typically happens during a difficult delivery when the baby becomes stuck in the birth canal, often due to shoulder dystocia. In these moments, the doctor must use precise, controlled techniques to safely deliver the baby.

But when excessive force or improper traction is used, the lower nerves of the brachial plexus (in the mid to lower cervical spine) can be stretched, torn, or even pulled from the spinal cord.

This can result in:

Loss of movement in the hand and fingers
Weakness or paralysis in the lower arm
Long-term disability requiring therapy and medical care

In this video, I explain:

What Klumpke’s palsy is
How it occurs during childbirth
The difference between upper and lower brachial plexus injuries
Why this injury is often preventable

If your child has been diagnosed with Klumpke’s palsy, it’s important to understand that this may not have been unavoidable—it may have been caused by medical negligence.

Pulled Too Hard During Birth—Now the Baby Can’t Use Their Hand

Brachial plexus injuries are among the most serious—and often preventable—birth injuries.

They occur during difficult deliveries, especially when a baby becomes stuck in the birth canal (commonly due to shoulder dystocia). In these moments, the doctor must use precise techniques to safely deliver the baby.

But when excessive force or improper traction is used, the delicate nerves in the baby’s neck (the brachial plexus) can be:

Stretched
Torn
Or even pulled from the spinal cord

The location of the nerve injury determines what part of the arm is affected:

Erb’s palsy (upper nerves): affects the shoulder and upper arm
Klumpke’s palsy (lower nerves): affects the hand and fingers
Total plexus injury: affects the entire arm

These injuries can lead to lifelong challenges, including limited mobility, weakness, and the need for ongoing therapy and medical care.

In this video, I explain:

What the brachial plexus is
How these injuries happen during childbirth
The different types of brachial plexus injuries
Why many of these injuries are preventable

If your child has been diagnosed with a brachial plexus injury, it’s important to understand that this may not have been unavoidable—it may have been caused by medical negligence.

Your Baby’s Nerves Were Never Meant to Be Pulled This Way

Erb’s palsy is one of the most preventable birth injuries—and it often happens in just seconds during delivery.

When a baby becomes stuck behind the mother’s pubic bone (a condition known as shoulder dystocia), the doctor must use careful, controlled techniques to safely deliver the baby. But when too much force or improper traction is used, the delicate nerves in the baby’s neck can be stretched, torn, or even permanently damaged.

This nerve damage affects the baby’s shoulder and arm—sometimes leaving them unable to lift or properly use it for life.

In this video, I explain:

What Erb’s palsy is
How it happens during childbirth
The role excessive force plays in causing injury
Why this condition is often preventable

If your child was diagnosed with Erb’s palsy, it’s important to understand that this may not have been unavoidable—it may have been negligence.

How One Mistake During Birth Can Permanently Damage a Baby’s Arm

Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is one of the clearest warning signs that a baby is in distress during labor.

And when doctors fail to act quickly, it can lead to serious brain injury.

Here’s what happens.

A baby under stress—often from lack of oxygen—can pass meconium (its first stool) inside the womb. That’s not normal. It’s a red flag.

When that happens:

The amniotic fluid becomes contaminated
The baby can inhale or swallow the meconium
It enters the lungs and blocks proper breathing

This is called meconium aspiration syndrome.

From that moment on, the medical team must act quickly.

The standard of care includes:
✔️ Recognizing fetal distress early
✔️ Close monitoring during labor
✔️ Timely delivery when needed (often C-section)
✔️ Immediate respiratory support after birth

When there’s a failure to intervene, the baby may not get enough oxygen.

And that lack of oxygen can lead to:

Brain damage
Cerebral palsy
Long-term respiratory complications

The key issue is not just that MAS occurred.

It’s this:

Did the doctors act fast enough—before it was too late?

👨‍⚖️ I’m Adam Funk, a birth injury lawyer. I handle cases involving preventable injuries during labor and delivery, including failures to respond to fetal distress.

If your child had breathing problems at birth, required NICU care, or was diagnosed with a brain injury, it’s worth having the case reviewed.

Baby in Distress? This Missed Sign Can Cause Brain Damage

One of the most dangerous complications for a premature baby in the NICU is sepsis—a bloodstream infection that can spread quickly and cause brain damage or even death if not treated immediately.

The problem is not just that sepsis occurs.

It’s that in many cases, the warning signs are missed or not acted on quickly enough.

Premature babies are especially vulnerable, and the signs can be subtle:

Temperature instability (not just fever)
Trouble breathing
Lethargy or decreased activity
Feeding difficulties

When these signs appear, the standard of care is clear:

✔️ Immediate recognition
✔️ Bloodwork and cultures
✔️ IV antibiotics without delay

If there is a delay in treatment, the infection can spread throughout the body, triggering inflammation that can damage the brain.

That brain injury can later show up as:

Cerebral palsy
Developmental delays
Long-term neurological issues

The key question is:

How quickly did the NICU team respond?

Because in these cases, timing is everything.

👨‍⚖️ I’m Adam Funk, a birth injury lawyer. I handle cases involving NICU negligence and preventable brain injuries.

If your child was born prematurely, developed an infection in the NICU, and now has neurological complications, it’s worth having the case reviewed.
