Birth Injuries
Birth Injury Lawyers Serving Clients Nationwide
Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can be caused by any number of circumstances, including breech delivery, delayed C-section, failure to foresee complications, doctor negligence and more. The effects of a child birth injury can last a lifetime. Some common birth injuries are:
- Cerebral Palsy - Cerebral Palsy is caused when the flow of oxygen to the brain is obstructed during delivery. This can occur when a fetus is left in the birth canal too long.
- Erb's Palsy - Erb's Palsy is a condition caused by damage done to the nerves during birth. This damage affects the arms, causing loss of feeling and/or mobility.
- Fractured bones
- Facial paralysis
- Brain injury
- Mental retardation
- Autism
The scope of birth injuries range from slight to severe; some will lead to the death of an infant. No matter how severe the birth injury, it is important to speak to an experienced birth injury lawyer and hold those responsible accountable.
