Welcoming a new baby into the world should bring joy. You look forward to tiny fingers and toes, first smiles, and a bright future. But sometimes, things go wrong during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.
When a medical mistake happens, and your child is hurt, it can feel scary, confusing, and heartbreaking. You may wonder what went wrong and how to protect your child now.
We at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers understand the heavy weight you carry. We know this is not the experience you dreamed of.

If a doctor, nurse, or hospital’s mistake caused harm to your baby, we want to stand by your side, protect your rights, and seek the support your child may need.
At Big Chad Law, birth injury cases require special care and knowledge. These cases often involve medical records, hospital procedures, and state laws like A.R.S. § 12-563, which explains what proof you need to show that a healthcare provider failed to meet Arizona’s standard of care.
Our team handles these types of claims, and we have learned to spot mistakes that might not be clear to an untrained eye.
When you call us, you become part of our extended family. We understand how overwhelming it can be to juggle doctor visits, therapies, and the emotional toll of a baby hurt at birth.

Every child matters, and we will do our best to find peace, answers, and the compensation your little one needs. Our office is accessible at 326 W. Southern Avenue, near Kleinman Park.

Families often ask, “How much money can we get for a birth injury?” The answer varies. Each case is unique because each baby and set of medical facts differs. However, some common types of damages you may recover include:
This can include hospital stays, surgeries, therapy, medication, medical devices, and more. If your child needs ongoing care, we calculate future costs, too.
A baby or mother who experiences harm at birth may face pain and long-term challenges. Arizona law allows families to seek money for non-financial damages, like pain and emotional stress.
If you miss work to care for your injured child or attend doctor visits, those lost earnings can be part of your claim.
Some birth injuries cause lifelong effects. For years, your child might need adaptive equipment, in-home nursing, special education, or therapy. We work with doctors and professionals to figure out how much that might cost so you have the funds you need.
Mesa, Arizona, has several hospitals and medical centers serving expectant mothers. While most doctors, nurses, and hospitals do their best, mistakes can happen. These mistakes may lead to:
Hospitals may be short-staffed or in a rush. Nurses might miss signs that a baby or mom is in distress, and doctors might misuse instruments like forceps or vacuum extractors.
Problems can begin before a baby is born. If an OB-GYN fails to spot a health issue or does not treat infections or diabetes in the mother, it can harm the child.
If a C-section is performed too late or done incorrectly, the baby may suffer a lack of oxygen, leading to brain damage or other serious issues.
If a C-section is performed too late or done incorrectly, the baby may suffer a lack of oxygen, leading to brain damage or other serious issues.
A birth injury is any harm a baby suffers right before, during, or shortly after birth. Some injuries heal quickly, while others can last a lifetime.
Here are a few examples of injuries we see in birth injury lawsuits:
Not every birth injury results from negligence. Sometimes, things go wrong even if the medical staff does everything right.
If proper care prevents your child’s injury, it may qualify as medical malpractice under A.R.S. § 12-562 or a failure to meet the standard of care under A.R.S. § 12-563. Our team can investigate, gather records, and show if the hospital or a healthcare worker fell short.
Keep in mind that birth injuries can cause big changes in your child’s future. Some children need lifelong care, therapy, or special education. In these cases, we fight for enough compensation to cover all these extra costs. Your child deserves the best shot at a healthy, happy life; we want to help make that happen.
It can be scary to take on a hospital, doctor, or insurance company. You should always call a trusted birth injury attorney to avoid being taken advantage of. The insurance companies have lawyers and professionals who want to pay as little as possible or deny the claim entirely. Here are some strategies they might use:
At Big Chad Law, we want you to focus on your baby. Let us handle the hard work of investigating, dealing with insurance, and preparing legal documents.
We know the Arizona laws that matter for birth injuries, like:
We also keep track of the Arizona Administrative Code sections that require certain hospital records to be kept (like R9-19-201, R9-19-202, R9-4-503, etc.). This can help us determine whether the hospital followed the right steps.
For instance, skipping a required newborn screening test might show negligence. Or, if they used birth tools incorrectly, that might show they violated the accepted standard of care.
We combine legal knowledge with compassion. We know how big these medical bills can get, and we understand how heartbreaking it is to see your baby hurting. That is why we push for full and fair compensation. We also stay in touch so you never feel forgotten or confused about what is happening.
We know how hard it is to trust anyone when a hospital lets you down. But at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we are here to make this process easier, not harder. Our Mesa birth injury lawyers want to secure the support your baby needs, from therapy to lifelong care.
