Hypoxic Ischemic Encepholopathy (HIE)

Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) Attorneys in Chicago

Compassionate & Experienced Legal Representation When You Need it Most

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a serious and life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. HIE most commonly occurs as a birth injury and can be associated with obstetrical negligence. HIE often results in neurological impairments, brain injuries, and damage to other areas of the body, such as the heart, lungs, or kidneys.

Unfortunately, a significant number of infants who develop HIE do not survive childbirth. Those newborns who do survive often have low APGAR scores and many suffer significant neurological damage. HIE can result in mental impairments, cerebral palsy, seizures, epilepsy, speech problems, developmental delays, lack of muscle control, and learning disabilities. Newborns with HIE may require lifelong medical care.

Cogan & Power, P.C. has considerable experience helping the victims of HIE and other birth injuries pursue medical malpractice claims. Call our HIE lawyers in Chicago at (312) 477-2500 today to begin.

    "I can not speak highly enough"

    I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
