Common types of birth injuries
Cerebral Palsy Caused by Medical Error
This involves developmental and movement disabilities often linked to oxygen deprivation or trauma during birth. A partner birth injury attorney can investigate medical records to determine if a preventable medical error was the cause and pursue compensation for lifelong care.
Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb's Palsy)
These are among the most common birth injuries, typically caused when an infant’s shoulder nerves are stretched or torn during a difficult delivery. If your child suffers from weakness or paralysis in one arm, an Erb's Palsy lawyer can help prove a doctor’s negligence and pursue compensation for your losses.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
HIE is a serious brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen or blood flow to the brain around the time of birth. It often happens when medical staff fails to respond to umbilical cord problems or delays a necessary C-section. An HIE attorney can analyze fetal monitoring strips and medical charts to help injured victims seek compensation.
Forceps or Vacuum Extraction Injuries
These injuries happen when delivery-assisting tools are used improperly, causing skull fractures, brain hemorrhages, or nerve damage. Because the infant skull is so fragile, even a moderate error can cause devastating injuries to the child.
Failure to Respond to Fetal Distress
A failure to respond to fetal distress occurs when doctors or nurses ignore clear warning signs from fetal heart monitors that a baby is in trouble, leading to preventable injury. Victims still have options to seek compensation through a medical malpractice claim. A partner birth injury lawyer can help navigate these claims and work to identify the responsible parties.
Delayed or Improperly Performed C-Section
A delayed C-section involves a failure to perform the surgery in a timely manner when it becomes medically necessary, often causing oxygen deprivation. Figuring out who is at fault can be difficult, as multiple staff members may share blame. A C-section error attorney can analyze the case, determine each party’s liability, and help ensure families pursue all possible compensation.
