What is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury occurs when a baby suffers harm before, during, or immediately after delivery. While not every complication can be linked directly to a medical error, many birth injuries actually result from medical negligence, and when healthcare professionals fail to meet the accepted standard of care.
Common types of birth injuries include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb’s palsy (brachial plexus injury)
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
- Shoulder dystocia injuries
- Brain bleeds or oxygen deprivation
- Facial nerve injuries
When negligence leads to a preventable injury, families have the right to seek accountability and financial recovery through a birth injury claim.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Birth Injury?
Birth injury cases are often complex because multiple individuals or entities may share responsibility. Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and even medical corporations have legal duties to provide safe and appropriate care during labor and delivery. When they fail in those duties, they can be held liable for the harm caused.
Parties that may be held liable in a birth injury claim include:
- Obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNs)
- Labor and delivery nurses
- Anesthesiologists
- Hospitals and birthing centers
- Medical corporations employing negligent providers
Determining liability requires careful investigation and medical expertise. Our attorneys can work with specialists to review records, identify mistakes, and start to prepare your case.
