What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury occurs when an infant or mother sustains harm during labor or delivery, often due to errors or negligence by medical professionals. These injuries can have life-altering consequences, requiring ongoing medical care, therapy, and significant financial resources.
Common Types of Birth Injuries We Handle
- Cerebral Palsy: Resulting from oxygen deprivation or trauma during delivery.
- Erb’s Palsy: Caused by nerve damage during improper handling of the baby’s shoulders.
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): A serious condition caused by reduced oxygen flow to the brain.
- Fractures or Head Trauma: Often a result of improper use of delivery tools or excessive force.
- Maternal Injuries: Including hemorrhages or injuries caused by delayed interventions.
Medical Malpractice and Birth Injuries
Birth injuries are often preventable and result from medical negligence. When healthcare providers fail to uphold the standard of care, families can suffer unnecessary trauma.
Examples of Medical Malpractice
- Failure to monitor fetal distress.
- Delayed or improperly performed C-sections.
- Misuse of delivery instruments like forceps or vacuum extractors.
- Failure to address complications such as umbilical cord issues or preeclampsia.
