Birth Injury FAQ

Attorneys for Birth Injuries – Nationwide Representation

What is a birth injury?

A birth injury is generally defined as an injury that a baby or mother suffer during labor or childbirth. Birth injuries are particularly prevalent in complicated deliveries, premature deliveries, breech births and in cases where the infant is particularly large.

What are some types of birth injuries?

Brain injury is one of the most serious types of birth injuries that an infant may sustain. Other serious birth injuries include: cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, brachial plexus injury, microcephaly, mental retardation, brain damage and developmental delays.

What are some of the causes of birth injuries?

Some birth injuries may be caused by genetics or because the mother abused drugs or alcohol during pregnancy. Other injuries, however, are entirely avoidable. If a doctor fails to perform a cesarean section in time, does not diagnose a medical condition properly or otherwise is negligent in any way a birth injury may occur. This is a form of medical malpractice and a birth injury lawyer can help determine whether you have a lawsuit to bring against the doctor, nurse or other medical professional responsible.

What can I do if I think my child was the victim of a birth injury?

It is important that you contact a lawyer as soon as you can. By reviewing medical records and talking to you about your situation a lawyer can begin to make a determination as to whether you were the victim of medical malpractice.

What type of compensation can I receive?

You may be able to receive financial compensation for medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, emotional trauma and more. This can make all the difference in the level of care that your child is able to receive.
