Birth Injury Questions and Answers:

Q: What is a birth injury?

A: A birth injury can be any variety of injury sustained during pregnancy, labor and delivery or shortly after birth. Common birth injuries include bruising from forceps, fractures of the clavicle or collarbone, and brachial plexus palsy (Erb’s Palsy). Birth injuries can also cause cerebral palsy, a movement disorder caused by an injury to the movement areas of the brain. A birth injury can also take many other forms.

Q: Will my child recover?

A: There is hope. Some babies who suffer a birth injury eventually recover from their condition, depending on the severity. Other times, the news is not all positive. Some birth injuries can cause serious, permanent damage in a child, leaving him or her with lifelong mental or physical disabilities.

Q: Was the birth injury preventable?

A: This is the most difficult of all birth injury questions. There are many cases of birth injuries caused by medical negligence or improper medical care, in which the injury was preventable. If you have this birth injury question, you need to speak to an experienced birth injury attorney as soon as possible.
