Is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy a disability?

Brain injuries resulting from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can lead to various forms of disability including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and developmental disabilities.

While hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is not necessarily a disability in and of itself, there are many long-term health conditions and disabilities linked to brain injury caused by HIE.

When a newborn or infant suffers from HIE, doctors and healthcare providers often cannot determine the extent of brain injury or predict the long-term consequences with certainty. Depending on the severity and duration of oxygen deprivation, the child may experience mild complications or face permanent disabilities.

In many cases, infants with mild HIE recover fully without long-term neurological impairments. However, severe HIE can increase the risk of serious disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, epilepsy, and sensory impairments.

If your child was impacted by a hypoxic-ischemic birth injury due to a healthcare professional or hospital’s negligence, we want to hear about your case. Contact Pribanic and Pribanic today for a free case evaluation with one of our birth injury attorneys: 800-392-4529

“What should I do if I experience health problems?”

First, seek medical treatment if you are developing health symptoms. Second, consider getting a baseline of your entire health, like blood tests and organ function, in case anything changes. And there are other steps you can take to improve your chances of securing compensation, like preserving evidence. Take photographs or videos of anything involved that you think led to your injury.

It is also important to be careful about what you sign or what you say to companies involved in your injury. They are trying to limit their liability and may try to get you to sign documents or make statements that hurt your case. To ensure your rights are protected in your state consult with an experienced attorney first.
