Types of Birth Injury Cases We Handle
At Morgan & Morgan, our birth injury attorneys investigate medical malpractice claims involving the following birth injuries:
- Brachial plexus injury (Erb’s Palsy and Klumpke’s Palsy);
- Shoulder dystocia;
- Soft tissue damage;
- Facial paralysis;
- Brain injury (from oxygen deprivation, blood flow problems, or otherwise);
- Drug-related injuries (such as SSRI-related injuries);
- Broken bones;
- Spinal cord damage;
- Umbilical cord strangulation or injuries;
- Internal bleeding; and
- Asphyxia.
How Are Birth Injuries Caused?
There are a variety of ways that birth injuries occur due to medical negligence including:
- Misuse of 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 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.
