"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

Fort Lauderdale Birth Injury Lawyers Fighting for Children with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

Supporting clients in getting the compensation they deserve

Birth injury is a tragic occurrence, which is rare, but when it happens it is devastating. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the most serious forms of birth injury which can cause significant, lasting harm or death to a newborn. It is beyond heartbreaking for parents to learn that their child has suffered an injury at birth that will likely end their child’s life before it has begun, and that the injury could have been prevented.

At the Yeboah Law Group, our compassionate Fort Lauderdale birth injury attorneys are here to represent your interests when you are dealing with a birth injury that was caused by a preventable medical error. We feel your pain and we fight to hold those responsible for your child’s injury accountable.

What is HIE?

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a brain injury that is a serious birth complication which prevents blood flow to the infant’s brain. A study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, reports that 40-60% of infants affected by HIE will die by two years of age, or have serious disabilities.

What causes Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy?

While the exact cause of each incidence of HIE is not always identified, it can be caused by the following:

Cord prolapse
Uterine rupture
Abruptio placenta
Placenta previa
Maternal hypotension
Breech presentation
Shoulder dystocia

(National Institutes of Health NIH)

Symptoms of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

Some of the symptoms of HIE include the following:

Reduced heart rate
Blue or pale skin
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid
Hypotonia (weak muscle tone)
Seizures
Difficulty with sucking and swallowing
Low APGAR scores

Long-term complications from HIE

The children who survive this devastating injury, depending on the severity of the hypo-ischemic event, may face various challenges throughout their lives including:

Cerebral palsy
Brain damage
Epilepsy
Seizure disorders
Vision loss, crossed eyes
Respiratory problems
Musculoskeletal problems
