Birth Injuries

What happens when the happiest day of your life turns into the saddest? Having a child can be one of the high points of life. However, occasionally medical complications occur that jeopardize the health and even the life of a baby. Problems can begin during pregnancy or happen at any point during birth. Potential dangers include brain damage, learning disabilities, nerve damage and problems using hands, arms and legs.

Here are some of the injuries that occur before or at birth:

• Brain damage
• Cerebral palsy
• Perinatal stroke
• Erb’s palsy
• Scalp swelling
• Bone injury
• Shoulder dystocia
• Spinal birth defects
• Injuries from lack of oxygen
• Injuries from forceps or vacuum birth
• Umbilical cord strangulation
• C – section injuries
• Amniocentesis injuries

If a medical provider does not handle a birth and/or pregnancy situation correctly and promptly, injuries can occur that affect your child’s and your own life forever. Medical bills from these injuries often far exceed available medical insurance coverage, threatening families, already struggling to recover physically and emotionally, with bankruptcy and debt.
