New York Medical Malpractice Attorney
Birth Injury
Of 1000 births in America, 27 result in injury. Most of these injuries are easily recovered from and the baby grows to be a healthy, normal adult. Unfortunately, not all birth injuries are recoverable. Common permanent birth injuries include cerebral palsy, mental retardation, erb’s palsy, brachial plexus injuries and, even, death to the mother or the baby. Birth injuries can be caused by:
- Excessive force during delivery
- Failure to perform a cesarean when necessary
- Forceps error
- Inadequate prenatal care
- Oxygen deprivation
- Poor fetal monitoring in prenatal stages
- And more…
