Birth Injury

Birth Injury Law

Medical complications or negligence during labor can result in birth injuries. If the delivery of a baby whose mother's pelvis is too narrow is lengthy, it might cause physical damage or temporary loss of oxygen to the baby, which results in brain damage. When a physician does not act quickly to a patient's needs during labor, or if there is a lack of care during the pregnancy, a birth injury may occur.

Birth Injury Legal Issues:

Birth injuries may result in devastating effects on the mother and/or child. Birth injuries can leave a child with lifelong paralysis, brain damage, or death. Other birth injuries may include:

• Spinal cord damage
• Bone fractures
• Bruising
• Skin irritation and infections
• Paralysis
• Internal Bleeding
• Cerebral Palsy
• Brachial Plexus
