Client-Focused Success Stories
Birth Injury Representation You Can Count On
At Yanko Popovic Sidhu, our birth injury lawyers in Calgary have transformed lives by securing game-changing settlements for families across Alberta.
Here are anonymized examples of our success, backed by Alberta’s legal framework:
Delayed Cesarean Delivery
A newborn suffered severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after clear signs of fetal distress were ignored for hours. The hospital claimed their protocols were followed appropriately. Our birth injury lawyers established negligence under Section 480 of the Alberta Health Professions Act (RSA 2000, c H-7), demonstrating failure to meet the standard of care in fetal monitoring. We secured $3.8 million to cover lifelong specialized care, assistive technologies, and quality of life improvements, with structured settlements under the Alberta Judgment Interest Act (RSA 2000, c J-1) to ensure ongoing financial support.
Forceps-Related Birth Trauma
A difficult delivery resulted in permanent brachial plexus injury when excessive force was applied during forceps extraction. The medical team claimed the injury was unavoidable due to shoulder dystocia. Our birth injury lawyers leveraged expert testimony under Section 6(1) of the Alberta Evidence Act (RSA 2000, c A-18) to prove improper technique and failure to consider alternative delivery methods. We obtained $2.4 million for the family, including compensation for multiple surgeries, physical therapy, and future earning capacity reduction, all filed within the Limitations Act (RSA 2000, c L-12) extended timeline for minors.
Medication Error During Labor
A mother and infant sustained serious complications after administration of incorrect medication dosages during induced labor. The hospital attempted to limit liability by claiming contributory factors. Our birth injury lawyers cited breaches of Section 9.1 of the Health Information Act (RSA 2000, c H-5) and medication protocols under the Hospitals Act (RSA 2000, c H-12). We recovered $1.9 million for both mother and child, covering maternal injuries, developmental therapies for the infant, and psychological counseling for the family’s trauma, demonstrating our expertise in complex multi-party medical negligence cases.

Frequently Asked Questions: Birth Injuries in Alberta
Your Top Birth Injury Questions Answered by Calgary’s Leading Lawyer
How do I know if my child's birth injury was caused by medical negligence?
Birth injuries can result from natural causes or medical negligence. Our birth injury lawyers work with medical experts to review records and determine if standards of care were violated. Signs may include unexpected complications during delivery, emergency interventions, or unusual staff behavior.
What is the average settlement for a birth injury case in Alberta?
Settlements vary widely based on injury severity, from smaller amounts for temporary injuries to millions for permanent disabilities requiring lifelong care. Our birth injury lawyer team assesses each case individually to determine fair compensation.
How long do I have to file a birth injury lawsuit in Alberta?
For children, the limitation period is suspended until they reach 18, after which they have 2 years to file. However, parents should consult a birth injury lawyer as soon as possible while evidence is fresh and to ensure proper care is funded.
What compensation can we receive for a birth injury in Alberta?
Compensation may cover medical expenses, therapy costs, specialized equipment, home modifications, lost parental income, pain and suffering, and funds for future care needs. Our birth injury lawyers calculate both current and projected lifetime costs.
How long does a birth injury case take to resolve in Alberta?
Most cases take 1-3 years to resolve, though complex cases may take longer. Our birth injury lawyer team works efficiently while ensuring every aspect of your child’s needs is addressed in the settlement.
What's the difference between a birth defect and a birth injury?
Birth defects typically develop during pregnancy due to genetic or environmental factors, while birth injuries occur during labor and delivery, often from physical trauma or oxygen deprivation. Our birth injury lawyers can help determine which applies in your situation.
