What Causes Birth Injuries?
Birth injuries can happen for any reason, but mostly negligence. Some common causes of these injuries include:
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum during delivery
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Delayed C-section
- Incorrect medication administration
- Misdiagnosis of maternal infections
- Inadequate prenatal care
- Failure to detect umbilical cord problems
- Prolonged labor without appropriate intervention
- Use of excessive force during delivery
How Do I Prove My Case?
You need to establish four key elements to prove a birth injury claim against the other party. These include:
- demonstrating that the medical professional owed you and your baby a duty of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery;
- showing that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected in their profession;
- providing evidence that the breach of duty directly caused the birth injury; and
- proving that the injury resulted in significant harm, leading to medical expenses, pain and suffering, or other damages.
If your case meets these four criteria, chances are, you may be able to file a claim for compensation or even a lawsuit depending on how the other party responds.
What If I'm Being Blamed for the Injury?
It's not uncommon for the injured to be blamed for the birth injury. At Morgan and Morgan, we understand that accusations of fault can complicate your case and add stress to an already difficult situation.
That's why we offer a free, no-obligation case evaluation. Once we've reviewed your case, we'll be able to tell whether the other party acted negligently and if you can bring a case against them.
