Birth Injuries
Birth injury or trauma can occur due to complications during pregnancy or delivery. A newborn’s nerves can easily be damaged and their bones are vulnerable to fractures; thus, some birth injuries may result in lifelong developmental disabilities. Among the most debilitating are those that affect an infant’s brain, like cerebral palsy.
Forms of malpractice that can lead to birth injuries are:
- Delaying a C-section
- Breech delivery
- Shoulder dystocia or Erb’s palsy
- Rupture of the uterus
- Medication errors
