Birth Injury Lawyer
Expectant parents await the arrival of a new baby with eager anticipation. But unfortunately things don’t always go as planned. Complications that arise during the labor and delivery process can injure the baby. These injuries can range from something as minor as a small bruise to more serious problems resulting in lifelong injury or disability.
Regardless of severity, any injury to a child that occurs during the birthing process is known as a birth injury.
The most common types of birth injuries include:
· Skin irritation
· Temporary Paralysis
· Brain Damage
· Cerebral Palsy
· Fractured collarbone
· Brachial Plexus Palsy
· Klumpke’s Palsy
The causes of birth injuries are as varied as the types, but common causes include:
· Delay in ordering a cesarean section
· Failure to respond to bleeding
· Failure to respond to umbilical cord entrapment
· Failure to respond to fetal distress
· Misuse of vacuum extractors or forceps
· Poor care of newborn immediately following birth
