Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they are preventable and typically result from medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. In Brawley and throughout Imperial County, families affected by birth injuries may face significant financial burdens and emotional challenges while caring for a child with special needs resulting from medical malpractice.

Birth injuries often occur due to:

• Delayed or inappropriate response to fetal distress
• Improper use of delivery tools such as forceps or vacuum extractors
• Failure to perform a timely cesarean section
• Inadequate monitoring during labor and delivery
• Medication errors during pregnancy or labor
• Failure to diagnose and treat maternal infections or conditions

These preventable errors can have devastating consequences for newborns and their families, leading to lifelong disabilities that require extensive medical care and support services.

Our birth injury lawyers in Brawley, CA represent families affected by various types of birth injuries, including:

• Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth, cerebral palsy affects movement, muscle tone, and posture, requiring lifelong care and therapy.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): A serious brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation that can lead to developmental delays, cognitive impairments, and seizure disorders.
• Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): Brain damage affecting white matter that can result in motor disorders and developmental delays.

• Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb's Palsy): Damage to the nerve network controlling the shoulders, arms, and hands, often resulting from excessive force during delivery.
• Fractures: Particularly clavicle (collarbone) and skull fractures that may occur during difficult deliveries.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Potentially leading to partial or complete paralysis.

• Kernicterus: Brain damage caused by untreated severe jaundice.
• Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN): A serious respiratory condition that may result from birth trauma or improper neonatal care.
• Intracranial Hemorrhage: Bleeding in or around the brain that can cause permanent brain damage.
