What is a birth injury?

A birth injury caused by medical malpractice is different from a genetic health issue or other “birth defect.” Some birth complications cannot be predicted or avoided. A birth injury, on the other hand, is preventable, and occurs as the result of negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, mid-wife, or other medical professional responsible for your baby's care. The “adverse event” that causes injury does not have to occur during childbirth to be considered a birth injury; it may take place before, during, or shortly after delivery. Some birth injuries can result in lifelong health conditions or paralysis.

Common birth injuries include:

Cerebral palsy – Cerebral palsy is a type of disorder that results from brain damage, and affects the development of motor skills and muscular coordination.
Brachial plexus injury – The brachial plexus refers to the nerves that run from the spine down the arms and hands. Brachial plexus injuries can result in paralysis or other conditions requiring surgery or special care.
Hypoxia – Hypoxia injuries occur when the baby does not have enough oxygen at birth. This may result from failure to properly monitor the baby before and during delivery. Hypoxia can lead to other serious conditions such as cerebral palsy.
Head trauma, skull fractures – Misuse of delivery instruments can put excessive pressure or trauma on an infant's fragile skull and cause serious damage.
Spinal cord injury – Improper twisting or pulling on the baby's neck and shoulders can cause spinal cord injuries.
Erb's palsy – Erb's palsy is a condition that can result from nerve damage or brachial plexus injury and may cause paralysis.

What caused your child's birth injury?

If you believe your child's condition was caused by a medical professional's mistake, we can help you.

Misuse of forceps during delivery
Failure to perform a timely C-section
