A birth injury is any physical harm or damage resulting to a baby during fetal development, prenatal care or during the delivery process. Every year in the United States, an estimated 27 in every 1,000 births result in some form of a birth injury.
Birth injuries can occur due to natural or unforeseeable causes, or they can be a result of medical negligence. We put our trust in doctors, nurses, and hospitals to take all proper precautions to prevent birth injuries from occurring. However, a number of mistakes made by medical professionals can cause birth injuries including:
- Failure to diagnose maternal infections
- Failure to properly interpret prenatal test results
- Failure to respond to signs of fetal distress
- Failure to perform a timely cesarean section delivery
- Use of excessive force during delivery
- Miscalculating a baby's size or the size of the mother's pelvis
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractor during delivery
- Failure to diagnose or treat newborn conditions
Birth injuries can range in severity from minor to severe. Minor birth injuries include fractures, bruising, and skin reactions that may not permanently affect a baby's health. Serious injuries causing long-term complications or even death occurring as a result of negligence happen more frequently than doctors admit. That is why it is critical to consult with a qualified birth injury attorney who will conduct a complete investigation into your birth injury case.
