Birth Injuries Due to Negligence or Malpractice
There can be minor or extensive birth injuries if the birthing procedure is not conducted properly. Even difficult births should result in a perfect infant with no lasting injuries. If birthing personnel, doctors, nurses or other caretakers are negligent, the following devastating injuries could happen:
Infants can be injured by improper use of forceps or the vacuum in the delivery process. They could suffer birth injuries that lead to Erb’s Palsy or cerebral palsy. Nerves and bones can become damaged from careless handling by medical personnel or caretakers and a child could sustain permanent spinal cord damage. Sometimes surgery is needed if a condition can be corrected.
Baltimore Birth Injury Lawsuits
Birth injury lawsuits may be filed if medical negligence is responsible for the damages. Errors can increase the severity of normal injuries or bruises; the problem could become permanent. Medical malpractice in birthing can occur if the physician fails to anticipate complications, especially with larger babies. Negligence occurs if the birthing staff does not recognize fetal distress or respond to problems such as umbilical cord entrapment. Failure to perform a Caesarian delivery when needed or inappropriate administration of birthing hormones can result in birth injuries. After the birth, a baby could be injured if an infection or circumcision is improperly cared for. These are all devastating and expensive problems for the family to deal with. Attorney Dwayne A. Brown will aggressively investigate to help make your personal injury case a winning case, in or out of the courtroom.
