Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can vary in severity and impact. Some common types include:
- Cerebral Palsy: A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, often resulting from brain damage during or shortly after birth.
- Erb’s Palsy: An injury to the brachial plexus nerves that control arm movement, usually caused by excessive pulling during delivery.
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage resulting from a lack of oxygen during birth.
- Caput Succedaneum: Swelling of the soft tissues on the baby's head caused by pressure during delivery.
- Cephalohematoma: Accumulation of blood between the baby’s skull and the periosteum, usually due to pressure from the birth canal.
Issues of Liability
Determining liability in birth injury cases can be complex. Potentially liable parties may include:
- OB-GYN: Errors in judgment, technique, or failure to follow established protocols.
- Nurses: Negligence in monitoring or responding to fetal distress or complications.
- Hospital Staff: Inadequate care or failure to maintain proper standards.
- Medical Facilities: Failure to provide adequate resources or support.
Our team investigates all aspects of the case to identify who may be responsible for the injury and ensure they are held accountable.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Several factors can contribute to birth injuries, including:
- Improper Delivery Techniques: Use of excessive force, incorrect handling of the baby, or misuse of delivery instruments.
- Failure to Monitor: Inadequate monitoring of fetal distress or maternal health.
- Delayed Intervention: Failure to respond promptly to complications, such as prolonged labor or signs of fetal distress.
