Why Do Birth Injuries Occur?

Negligent health providers, as well as decisions of recklessness, omission, or deviation from standard procedure, are responsible for many of the birth injuries that occur in the United States every year. If you or your child suffered an injury caused or contributed to by third-party negligence, protecting your family’s rights means speaking with an attorney. You could be entitled to compensation for your losses and injuries.

Examples of birth injuries often caused by medical malpractice include:

  • Prenatal misdiagnosis
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Brachial plexus
  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death
  • Brain damage caused by oxygen loss
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Premature birth
  • Problems in labor and delivery
