What Is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is an injury that a baby or mother suffers before, during, or immediately following labor and delivery. The causes of the injuries can often be traced to an obstetrician’s or nurse’s failure to spot fetal distress or perform a cesarean section in a timely manner.

Babies can suffer many types of injuries during labor and delivery. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common results of negligence and error during birth. It is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain and results in lifelong brain damage and disability. CP affects:

• Body movement

• Muscle coordination

• Reflexes

• Posture

• Balance

• Motor skills

• Speaking skills

It is always serious, but the level of severity ranges from child to child.

We know that CP and other types of birth injury have a dramatic effect on entire families. Our lawyers can seek the maximum compensation that takes into account the entirety of your child’s life, quality of life and unique medical needs.
