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.
If your child has suffered from any of these injuries, please contact LaCourse Law today to speak with an attorney. We will review your case and help you determine the best way to move forward.

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 specifics of the case. 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.

Are All Birth Injury Attorneys the Same?

No, they are not all the same. You will want to make sure that you do your research and find an attorney who has experience with birth injury cases. Not all attorneys have this experience, so it is important to ask.

There are many different types of birth injuries, and each one can require a different type of legal knowledge. Some attorneys may be better at handling certain cases than others. It is important to find the right attorney for you and your child.
