Experience in patient care
A perspective shaped in labor and delivery.
Dr. Zaheer Shah has delivered children and treated children who have suffered birth injuries. He understands how an injury can affect both a child and the parents caring for them.
As an attorney, he uses his medical knowledge to review the records and help families understand potential legal claims. The focus is on the care provided, the injury, and the needs of the child.
Concerns we review
Understanding the circumstances of the birth.
Delivery and C-section care
The timing and circumstances of delivery, including a C-section, can be important when examining concerns about the care provided.
Oxygen-related concerns
When a family has questions about oxygen deprivation, the review considers what occurred and whether the response met the applicable standard of care.
Shoulder and nerve injuries
Concerns involving shoulder dystocia or a brachial plexus injury call for a careful look at the delivery records and the child’s diagnosis.
A complication or diagnosis does not automatically mean that someone was negligent. Cerebral palsy, for example, can have different causes; determining whether care played a role requires an individual review.

Reviewing the records
Connecting the care with the outcome.
A malpractice claim needs evidence that the care fell below the applicable standard and that this failure caused injury. We examine the medical history and sequence of events with those questions in mind.
The delivery record
The mother’s and baby’s records help explain the condition of each patient and the decisions made during labor and delivery.
The child’s needs
The child’s diagnosis, treatment, and providers’ assessments help explain the injury and its effect on the family.
Arizona law: A.R.S. § 12-563.
