Understanding Birth Injuries: Causes, Types, and Legal Implications
Birth injuries often result from medical negligence, improper handling during delivery, or failure to follow standard medical protocols. Common types of birth injuries include:
- Erb's Palsy (brachial plexus injury)
- Cerebral Palsy
- Broken bones (clavicle or long bones)
- Facial paralysis
- Intrauterine hypoxia
- Spinal cord injuries
- Cephalohematoma
Legal implications hinge on establishing negligence, proving that healthcare providers failed to uphold the standard of care, thus causing harm to the infant or mother. An experienced birth injury attorney understands how to review medical records, consult medical experts, and build a compelling case to secure rightful compensation.
