Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, or “HIE” is a severe birth injury. HIE occurs in the perinatal stages of birth and results in the child being deprived of oxygen during the birthing process. In many cases, Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy occurs due to cord compression and other abnormalities in the birthing process. There are cases in which a child’s injury has resulted from the natural expulsive forces of labor, unfortunately many more are a result of medical negligence.
