Birth Injuries
A birth injury can be a devastating experience for any family. Not only can it result in long-term physical and emotional harm for the child, but it can also take a financial toll on the family as they deal with medical expenses and missed work. Unfortunately, birth injuries are not uncommon and can be caused by a variety of factors, including medical malpractice, negligence, and mistakes made during the delivery process.
One of the most common types of birth injuries is cerebral palsy. This is a neurological disorder that affects a child’s ability to control their muscles and movements. It can be caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain during delivery, a traumatic delivery, or an infection in the mother during pregnancy. Another common birth injury is Erb’s palsy, which occurs when there is damage to the nerves in the child’s arm during delivery. This can cause weakness or paralysis in the arm, making it difficult for the child to use it normally.
In some cases, birth injuries can be prevented with proper care and attention during the delivery process. For example, proper monitoring of the mother and baby during delivery can help to detect any potential problems and allow for timely interventions to prevent injury. However, even with the best care, birth injuries can still occur.
When a birth injury is caused by medical malpractice or negligence, the family may be entitled to compensation to help cover the cost of medical expenses and other damages. This can include compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
