Understanding Birth Injuries
Birth injuries occur when medical professionals fail to provide adequate care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. These injuries can lead to lifelong complications for both the child and their family. Common causes of birth injuries include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Improper use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors
- Delayed or missed cesarean sections
- Mismanagement of prolonged labor or delivery complications
Common Types of Birth Injuries We Handle
Fulginiti Law is experienced in handling a variety of birth injury cases, including but not limited to:
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery, leading to motor function impairments and developmental delays. If medical negligence contributed to your child’s condition, we can help you pursue compensation.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
HIE results from insufficient oxygen supply to a baby’s brain during childbirth. This serious condition can cause long-term cognitive and physical disabilities.
Shoulder Dystocia and Erb’s Palsy
When medical professionals mishandle shoulder dystocia, it can lead to nerve damage and Erb’s palsy. We hold negligent providers accountable for failing to follow proper protocols.
Other Birth Injuries
We also represent families affected by brachial plexus injuries, fractures, and other preventable complications caused by obstetric malpractice.
