What Are Birth Injuries?

Birth injuries occur when a child sustains harm due to medical errors or negligence during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or the immediate neonatal period. These injuries can range from mild and temporary to severe and life-altering. Common causes include:

Obstetric Negligence: Errors during labor and delivery, such as failure to monitor fetal distress.

Improper Use of Tools: Misuse of delivery tools like forceps or vacuum extractors.

Delayed Medical Intervention: Failure to perform timely cesarean sections or address prenatal complications.

Examples of Birth Injuries

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb’s palsy
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Birth asphyxia or hypoxia-related injuries
  • Fractures or nerve damage

If you believe your child’s injury was caused by medical negligence, our team is here to provide clarity and guidance.
