Kansas City, Kansas – Aug 15, 2025 – A birth injury can change the course of a family’s life in an instant.

They have dedicated our practice to helping the seriously injured and their families obtain compensation for the harm they’ve suffered due to the negligent actions of others.
Birth injuries can occur due to a range of avoidable medical errors—failure to monitor the baby’s heart rate, improper use of delivery tools, delayed C-sections, or mishandling complications during labor and delivery.
Common
types of birth injuries include:
●
Temporary paralysis,
●
Fractured collarbone,
●
Fractured arm,
●
Brain damage,

Erb’s palsy, and

The most serious birth injuries are those that cause damage to the infant’s brain. Injuries to the brain can result in seizures, intellectual disabilities, or loss of bodily functions. Such damage can result in the need for lifetime care.
“At Dempsey & Kingsland, we’ve seen firsthand how birth injuries impact not just the child, but the entire family,” says Robert Kingsland. “Your child’s health, your ability to work, and your peace of mind can all be taken away in an instant. We believe that when medical professionals make mistakes that cause lifelong damage, they must be held accountable.”
