Birth Injuries
Birth Injuries May Require a Lifetime of Medical Care
Cerebral Palsy is a type of brain injury, often caused by decreased oxygen and/or blood flow to the baby, resulting in a neurologic disorder that can lead to significant physical and mental disabilities for the child.
Erb's Palsy is a condition that results from injury to the nerves that control the muscles in the shoulder, arms or hand. The goal of most doctors is to get the child's arm moving normally by age two.
Both of these conditions can require expensive care and treatment to maximize the child's quality of life and their chances for improvement. These can include:
- Long-term residential care and in-home supervision
- Therapies and assistive devices
- Medications and medical specialists
- Home modifications and surgeries
To provide the best future possible for their children and to relieve this financial burden, families will often pursue compensation from the responsible parties.
How It Happens
You Might Be Entitled to Compensation
While there are some instances in which a birth injury occurs for no obvious reason and no one is to blame, it may at times be caused by the following, among other things:
Delayed Emergency C-Section
A physician failing to plan and carry out an emergency C-section.
Excessive Force in Delivery
The child's arm being pulled too forcefully during delivery.
Missed Signs of Distress
Lack of careful monitoring for signs of distress.
Improper Use of Delivery Tools
Improper use of tools used for assisting with the child's birth.
Untreated Maternal Infection
Failure to diagnose or properly treat maternal infection.
Post-Birth Monitoring Failures
Failure to properly monitor and/or treat the baby's respiratory status post birth.
