Perinatal Asphyxia Lawyer in Dallas
Representation for Families in Dallas County, Hidalgo County & Statewide
Perinatal asphyxia is a serious condition where a baby experiences poor oxygen levels during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, sometimes days before birth, sometimes in the final minutes before it.
If your baby was diagnosed with perinatal asphyxia, you're likely wondering whether that oxygen loss was something the medical team should have caught and responded to sooner.
Cases involving oxygen deprivation require a careful, patient review of exactly what happened and when. At the Law Office of Kelly Liebbe, Attorney Kelly Liebbe does that work herself, and she's the one who carries your case forward, whether through a negotiated settlement or in a courtroom.
At our firm, you work directly with Kelly from start to finish, not a case manager or other staff. You get the benefit of a practice that is devoted only to birth injury cases across the state of Texas and an attorney with extensive experience in this complex field.

Our Process in Birth Injury Representation
Hearing your story: Kelly starts every case the same way: by listening to your story. She wants to hear what happened in your delivery, what you noticed, what worried you, and how your baby's oxygen deprivation has affected your family since.
Rebuilding your delivery, record by record: Kelly takes on the work of piecing together what actually happened by requesting and reviewing your complete medical records, fetal monitoring strips, delivery room notes, and physician documentation, tracing the timeline of your baby's oxygen levels from labor through delivery.
Bringing in medical experts who can review the standard of care: Kelly works with these specialists who can evaluate your baby's specific case, whether signs of oxygen deprivation, including delivery complications, were recognized in time, and whether the response met the standard of care a delivery team should have followed.
One attorney, every step of the way: Kelly remains the only attorney on your case, handling every filing and every negotiation herself, so your family never has to start over explaining the matter to someone new.
Prepared for the settlement table or the courtroom: Some cases resolve once the facts are clear and the responsible parties acknowledge what happened. Others require going to trial, particularly when a hospital or insurance company won't take responsibility without being made to in court.
Kelly’s intensive case preparation works in your favor, often leading to a fair settlement offer. If that is not forthcoming, she takes your case to a judge and jury.
