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

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. My name is Adam Funk.
