What is a Birth Injury?
When a doctor, obstetrician, nurse or other medical professional fails to provide a standard level of care during your pregnancy, during labor or during the delivery of your child, birth injuries may occur. Many birth injuries occur due to a lack of oxygen to the brain during delivery or because of trauma to the child during birth. While a certain amount of bruising can be expected, when a doctor fails to provide a cesarean section in a timely manner or fails to diagnose a condition in the baby or mother, this can have disastrous effects. Additionally, taking certain prescription drugs while pregnant can cause problems in the baby. A medication error by a doctor or pharmacist during pregnancy or before, during or after delivery can also cause serious birth injuries.
