Health Risks and Injuries Associated With Birth Injury Claims
A birth injury isn’t the same as a birth defect. Birth injuries happen before, during, or shortly after delivery due to medical negligence. They’re preventable. When medical professionals fail to act, or make the wrong call, the consequences can last a lifetime. If you think your child went through one of these situations during delivery, you might have a valid claim.
Cerebral Palsy Caused by Birth Trauma
Brain injuries at birth often result in cerebral palsy.
Failure to Diagnose Fetal Distress
Missing distress signs puts the infant at risk.
Incorrect Use of Forceps
Using forceps improperly causes trauma for the infant.
Birth Asphyxia
Lack of oxygen during birth can create severe complications.
Wrongful Birth
Parents could be misled about risks before delivery.
Delayed C-Section
A delayed c-section can endanger the mother and infant(s).
Negligent Use of Delivery Instruments
Unsafe use of tools risks harming the mother or child.
Failure to Monitor Fetal Heart Rate
Ignoring abnormal heart patterns risks an injury or death of the child.
Failure to Recognize or Manage Birth Complications
Unrecognized or mismanaged issues during delivery can hurt the mother or child.
