    Typical Causes of Birth Injuries 

    Many different circumstances and conditions can result in harm to a newborn infant. But one of the most common types of injuries involves damage to the infant’s shoulders and neck. 

    If a delivery professional applies too much pressure to the baby’s neck or arm, the child’s nerves can be damaged. In these cases, the nerves in the spine or the brachial plexus may suffer harm. 

    When this happens, the infant may experience medical conditions, including Klumpke’s palsy or Erb’s palsy. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons maintains that around one out of every 1,000 infants experiences these conditions.  

    Nerve damage during the birthing process can result in serious and lifelong medical complications. Some of the most common symptoms caused by nerve damage in infants include: 

    • Numbness
    • Weakness
    • Lack of motor development
    • Partial or total paralysis
    • Long-term lack of balance
    • Muscle spasms
    • Loss of dexterity or range of motion 

    These birth injuries can result in chronic symptoms. Additionally, negligent care during the birthing process can result in the infant not having sufficient oxygen. This can cause significant brain damage.  

    Some of the common lasting symptoms of this type of birthing injury include: 

    • Delays in cognitive development
    • Cerebral palsy
    • And more  

    Birthing injuries often result in lifelong medical issues for the infant. This means that the parents face massive medical costs and skyrocketing expenses.  

    If your family has been affected by medical negligence, make sure to speak with the Palm Harbor birth injury lawyers at Morgan and Morgan. Accomplished birth injury lawyers in Palm Harbor, FL, will ensure that you pursue the financial compensation to which you are entitled. 

    Families deserve justice when they have been affected by a birthing injury. This is especially true if the injury resulted from medical negligence or malpractice.
