What Constitutes a Birth Injury?
Many different types of birth injuries exist, including:
- Erb’s palsy;
- Klumpke’s palsy;
- Cerebral palsy;
- Torticollis;
- Fractures, especially in the clavicle and hands;
- Brain damage; and
- Head trauma.
-
How are Injuries Caused?
Some of the injuries listed above occur genetically or prior to birth, but all could potentially be the result of medical negligence. This includes:
- Misuse instruments during delivery;
- Do not respond to bleeding, distress, or umbilical cord placement;
- Do not anticipate complications related to baby or maternal health; and
- Delay ordering a caesarean section.
Conditions like Erb’s and Klumpke’s palsy involve the doctor or nurse attempting to manipulate parts of the baby, particularly the forearm and hand, and causing injury to your child. Other injuries could come about as a result of improperly using tools, failing to react to changing circumstances of birth, or failing to perform sufficient testing or observation during the process.
