Common Causes of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can occur due to a variety of factors, many of which are preventable. Common causes of birth injuries include:

  • Failure to perform timely C-sections
  • Improper use of delivery tools (forceps or vacuum extractors)
  • Delayed responses to fetal distress
  • Errors during prenatal care or delivery
  • Inadequate monitoring of the mother and baby

If you believe medical negligence contributed to your child’s injury, we’re here to help.

Types of Birth Injury Cases We Handle

Our team has extensive experience in a wide range of birth injury cases, including but not limited to:

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is often caused by oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) during labor and delivery. It can result in motor skill challenges, developmental delays, and lifelong medical needs.

Erb’s Palsy

Erb’s palsy, a nerve injury, typically occurs when excessive force is applied during delivery. This condition can lead to partial or complete paralysis of the arm.

Hypoxia-Related Injuries

Prolonged oxygen deprivation during birth can result in severe developmental and cognitive impairments, requiring ongoing medical care and therapy.

Other Injuries

  • Broken bones
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Brain injuries

Our skilled attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to determine the cause of your child’s injury and establish whether medical negligence played a role.
