What is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is an injury that occurs to a baby during childbirth. There are many different types of birth injuries, and they can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common birth injuries include:

Cerebral palsy: This is the most common type of birth injury. Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement and muscle control.

Brachial plexus injury: This occurs when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck in the birth canal and results in damage to the nerves in the arm.

Shoulder dystocia: This is when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck in the birth canal and can cause serious injuries, such as a broken collarbone.

Brain damage: This can be caused by a lack of oxygen at birth or by other injuries sustained during childbirth.

Facial paralysis: This occurs when the baby’s facial nerve is injured during delivery.

Broken bones: This can occur when the baby’s bones are squeezed too tightly during labor.

Facial paralysis: This occurs when the baby’s facial nerve is injured during delivery.

Erb’s palsy: This is a disorder that affects the baby’s nerves in the arm.

What Compensation Can I Recover for a Birth Injury?

The types of compensation that may be available in a birth injury case or medical malpractice lawsuit vary depending on the case’s specifics. However, some common forms of compensation include:

Medical expenses: This includes all medical costs related to the injury, such as hospital bills, doctor’s visits, and medication.

Permanent disability: If the child is left with a permanent disability as a result of the birth injury, they may be entitled to compensation for that disability.

Pain and suffering: The child and/or their parents may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the birth injury.
