Birth Injuries: A Devastating Form of Medical Malpractice

Birth injuries are their own special area of medical malpractice. Medical negligence that happens before, during, or after the birth of a child can be devastating for the entire family — and life-threatening for the mother and baby. Birth injuries can be both short- and long-term, and include Cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy. Brachial plexus, birth hypoxia, forceps injuries, and breech birth complications. Failure to recognize fetal distress or other procedural errors can also lead to serious birth injuries.

If you are debating suing a hospital because of a birth injury you suspect to be a case of medical negligence, we strongly recommend you speak with one of our experienced birth injury attorneys.

Causes of Medical Malpractice

Some specific examples of medical malpractice can include (but are not limited to):

• Equipment failure or defective medical devices
• Improper treatment of the patient
• Delayed diagnosis of a condition
• Failure to diagnose a condition
• Misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
