When the joy of childbirth turns into a medical emergency, families are often left grappling with both emotional and financial challenges. Birth injuries can have long-term impacts on a child’s development and quality of life, and when these injuries result from preventable medical errors, legal action may be necessary.
What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury refers to any physical harm or neurological impairment sustained by an infant during the labor and delivery process. While some complications are unavoidable, many occur due to improper medical procedures or delayed decisions by healthcare providers. Common birth injuries include:
- Cerebral Palsy – Often the result of oxygen deprivation during delivery
- Erb’s Palsy (Brachial Plexus Injuries) – Nerve damage affecting arm or shoulder mobility
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) – Brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen and blood flow
- Fractures and Facial Nerve Damage – Frequently linked to excessive use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Cephalohematoma – A pooling of blood under the baby’s scalp from delivery trauma
- Perinatal Asphyxia – Severe oxygen deprivation potentially leading to lasting developmental delays
