Baby Seizures After Birth in Los Angeles: What You Must Know
The First Thing You Should Do — Before Calling a Lawyer
As a new parent, discovering that your baby is experiencing seizures can be one of the most terrifying moments of your life. You may feel overwhelmed, frightened, and uncertain about the future. It’s essential to take a moment to breathe and gather your thoughts. The first step you should consider is to seek medical attention for your child to ensure they receive the care they need. Once your child is stable, you can begin to assess the situation further.
Your focus should also include understanding the circumstances surrounding your baby’s health. Were the seizures a result of an unforeseen complication during birth? Were there any indications that might have suggested a different course of action during your prenatal care? These questions are critical as you move forward in this process.

Los Angeles Law — No Cap on Damages + Your Time Limits
One of the significant advantages of pursuing a malpractice claim in Los Angeles is that there is no cap on non-economic damages. This means that if you have a case, the compensation you could potentially receive for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic losses is not limited. This is a crucial aspect to consider when evaluating your options.
California law, specifically CCP §340.5, states that you have three years from the date of the injury to file a claim. It’s vital to act within this timeframe to ensure your rights are protected. Recent cases, such as Diaz v. Cedars-Sinai (2023) and Torres v. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (2022), highlight the significant awards given to families affected by malpractice, including $2.1 million and $5.4 million for serious birth injuries. These precedents reinforce the importance of pursuing your case if you believe your child’s seizures were a result of medical negligence.
