What Are Birth Injuries?

A birth injury occurs when a newborn sustains physical harm during labor or delivery. While some injuries are unavoidable, others result from medical errors or negligence. Birth injuries can range in severity, from temporary complications to lifelong disabilities that require extensive medical care and resources.

Common Birth Injuries:

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

Cerebral Palsy: A condition impacting movement and coordination, often linked to birth complications.

Erb’s Palsy: Nerve damage in the shoulder or arm caused by improper delivery techniques.

Shoulder Dystocia: When the baby’s shoulder becomes stuck during delivery, leading to potential nerve damage or fractures.

Birth Asphyxia: Lack of oxygen during childbirth, which can result in severe, long-term complications.

If your child experienced any of these injuries, Fulginiti Law is here to help.

Medical Negligence During Childbirth

Medical negligence is one of the leading causes of preventable birth injuries. Healthcare providers are expected to follow specific protocols to ensure the safety of both mother and child during labor and delivery. When these standards are not met, injuries can occur.

Examples of Medical Negligence:

  • Failing to monitor fetal distress.
  • Delaying necessary emergency C-sections.
  • Misuse of forceps or vacuum extractors.
  • Administering incorrect medications or dosages.
  • Errors during neonatal care in the NICU.

These mistakes can have lifelong consequences for both the child and their family. If you suspect medical negligence played a role in your child’s injury, Fulginiti Law can help you determine the next steps.
