Causes of Birth Injuries

It is estimated that one out of every 33 newborns suffers a birth injury every year. Furthermore, about seven percent of birth injuries only became apparent when the child reached 12 months; another 12 to 14 percent of birth injuries become apparent when the child enters school.

Some of the most common causes of a birth injury include:

• Failing to diagnose dangerous conditions during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia
• Improper use of forceps or other birthing equipment
• Failing to order a C-section in due time
• Prescribing drugs that may harm the mother or child
• Failing to monitor the baby or mother during labor
• Failing to recognize fetal distress
• Difficult labor or childbirth
• Prolonged labor

From the first sonogram to the time of birth, medical professionals have an obligation to protect the health of the baby and mother. Failing to follow medical standards can lead to complications and injuries.

If your newborn suffered a birth injury due to any of the issues above or any other source of medical negligence, contact a Stuart birth injury lawyer for help. We can help you obtain the compensation you and your child deserve for your future.

Types of Birth Injuries

As some birth injuries may not be obvious right away, parents should be diligent in monitoring missed developmental milestones or signs of injury like weak muscles.

Some of the most common birth injuries include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Brachia plexus injury (Erb’s palsy)
• Cerebral ischemia
• Cephalohematoma
• Oxygen deprivation

An injury during labor and delivery can change the lives of the child and parents forever. If your child has been injured by a medical mistake, you may be entitled to file a claim against all the negligent parties that caused the injury. Your child deserves all the resources they need to live with a potentially life-changing disability, and we can help you fight for the compensation needed for these resources.
