Types of birth injuries
Our firm represents parents and children whose lives have been altered by a variety of birth injuries. For some, future medical needs may dictate establishing a special needs trust, working with a life care planner or both. Whatever your family’s situation, our skilled attorneys can thoroughly address your needs and concerns. Birth injuries can be caused by a failure to perform a timely Cesarean section, depriving the infant of oxygen. Fetal monitor strips must be closely monitored to alert nurses and doctors to a change in the fetus’ vital signs; failure to do so can place the baby in a precarious medical situation.
Cerebral palsy typically occurs when there is a lack of oxygen to the baby’s brain for an extended period. This can be avoided by, among other efforts, carefully tracking fetal monitor strips and performing a timely c-section delivery. Failure to do so can result in permanent brain injury to the child and a lifetime of physical and developmental complications.
Our firm handles other types of birth injuries that are not related to Cesarean section deliveries or a failure to carefully examine the fetal monitor strips. These types of injuries include Erb’s palsy, shoulder dystocia and forceps injuries. No matter what type of injury your newborn has suffered, no matter how severe, it is an injury that should not have happened.
