While birth injuries can stem from natural causes, many occur because of a mistake or negligence by a doctor. Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor causes an injury or worsens the effects of a naturally occurring injury by deviating from the established standard of medical care. Those injuries are different than birth defects, which are caused by a genetic disorder.
When a birth injury occurs, a number of people may be held responsible other than the doctor, including attending nurses, support staff, technicians and even the hospital itself. Birth injuries can leave a family with a lifetime of medical bills.
Birth injuries can include brain damage, nerve damage, spinal cord damage, reduced oxygen injuries, injuries from C-sections,bone fractures, autism, paralysis, infections, epilepsy and wrongful death and injuries to the mother (maternal injuries). Other issues related to pregnancy and birth include Group B Strep, Improper Administration of Drugs, Infant Kernicterus, Rh Incompatibility and Long Term Needs after a birth injury. One of the most common birth injuries is shoulder dystocia, which happens when the baby’s shoulders are too wide to fit through the birth canal and become stuck behind the mother’s pubic bone. Complications of this can include Klumpke’s palsy, an injury caused by excessive pressure to a baby’s neck or head that cause paralysis and Erb’s Palsy, a temporary or permanent loss of mobility in the hand or arm often seen after difficult deliveries where the child's shoulder becomes lodged.
You should understand that birth injuries may occur even with the best medical care. A review of your medical records by our recognized medical experts can help you determine if a health care professional deviated from the accepted standard of care and caused an injury or made an existing condition worse.
