What Are Birth Injuries?

A birth injury is any harm or trauma suffered by an infant or mother during labor and delivery. These injuries often result from medical negligence, including improper monitoring, delayed interventions, or errors in judgment by healthcare providers. Birth injuries can have long-term or permanent consequences, including physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges for your child and your family.

Common birth injuries include:

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.

Erb’s Palsy: Nerve damage in the shoulder and arm due to improper use of delivery tools.

Cerebral Palsy: A lifelong condition affecting motor function caused by birth complications.

Fractures or Head Trauma: Often the result of improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors.

If you suspect medical negligence led to your child’s injury, Fulginiti Law is here to help.
