Birth Injuries

Doctors, nurses, obstetricians, or other medical professionals are liable for any kind of harm, damage, or trauma caused by their negligence, error or misconduct. If they injured an infant during pregnancy, delivery, or right after the baby is born, they can be accountable for monetary damages to compensate the victim and the victim’s family.

Common Birthing Errors

• Failure to perform a caesarean birth.
• Failure to perform a caesarean birth in a timely manner.
• Incorrect use of forceps.
• Failure to monitor for fetal distress, such as when the umbilical cord constricts the baby’s neck.
• Failure to use the vacuum extraction technique correctly.

Common Birth Injuries

• Brachial Plexus
• Erb’s Palsy
• Cerebral Palsy
• Skin problems
• Fractured arm or collarbone
• Temporary Paralysis
• Brain Injuries

Insufficient oxygen or cranial bleeding can cause babies to suffer brain injuries. Although oxygen deprivation can occur naturally, the doctors and nurses must monitor the condition of the baby and intervene if necessary to prevent the occurrence of brain damage or other injuries.
