What is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury occurs when a baby suffers physical harm before, during, or shortly after delivery. Most birth injuries result from medical negligence, such as improper monitoring, delayed intervention, or excessive force during delivery. Birth injuries can range from minor and temporary to severe and permanent, but a birth injury of any severity can justify legal action if it was caused by medical malpractice.
Common types of birth injuries include:
- Erb’s palsy (brachial plexus injury)
- Cerebral palsy
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
- Skull fractures or head trauma
- Brain bleeds or oxygen deprivation
- Facial nerve injuries
- Shoulder dystocia injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures or dislocations during delivery
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Birth Injury?
Birth injury claims are complex because multiple parties may share responsibility for what happened. Hospitals and medical providers are expected to follow specific standards of care to ensure a safe delivery. When they fail to do so, they can be held liable for the harm that results.
Potentially liable parties in a birth injury case may include:
- Obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs)
- Labor and delivery nurses
- Anesthesiologists
- Hospitals and birthing centers
- Medical corporations that employ negligent providers
- Pharmaceutical companies (in cases involving defective drugs or devices)
Determining who is responsible requires a thorough investigation, often including expert medical testimony and review of hospital records. Our Beverly Hills birth injury lawyers can work with top medical specialists to uncover the truth.
