What Are Birth Injuries?

Birth injuries are physical or neurological damages sustained by an infant during labor or delivery. These injuries are often preventable and result from errors or negligence by medical professionals. Common birth injuries include:

  • Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by a lack of oxygen during delivery.
  • Erb’s Palsy: Resulting from excessive force during delivery, leading to nerve damage.
  • Hypoxia: Oxygen deprivation at birth, which can result in brain damage or developmental delays.
  • Fractures and Physical Trauma: Including broken bones or injuries due to improper use of forceps or vacuum devices.

At Fulginiti Law, we focus on uncovering the truth behind these injuries and holding the responsible parties accountable.

Common Causes of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries often result from medical errors, including:

  • Failure to Monitor Fetal Distress: Delayed action during signs of oxygen deprivation.
  • Improper Use of Medical Equipment: Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors.
  • Medication Errors: Incorrect administration of labor-inducing drugs.
  • Delayed C-Sections: Failure to perform a timely cesarean delivery when necessary.

Our team has a deep understanding of neonatal malpractice and obstetric negligence. We collaborate with medical experts to investigate your case thoroughly.
