Birth Injuries

Bringing a baby into the world should be one of the happiest moments in a parent's life. All parents dream of delivering a healthy baby without complications and they expect their baby to grow up to be a healthy adult. However, complications during pregnancy or delivery can lead to temporary or permanent injury to the baby. Unfortunately, some of these birth injuries occur because of the negligent act of a medical professional and could have been avoided.

There are many different possible causes of birth injuries, including:

• Delayed cesarean section
• Failure to notice fetal distress
• Improper use of medical devices - forceps or vacuums
• Improper assessment of baby's health in womb

As a result of a birth injury, an infant may be afflicted with a serious medical condition such as cerebral palsy, autism, or epilepsy. In situations where harm to the baby was avoidable, it is important to seek legal advice right away.
