Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery when medical professionals fail to provide the standard of care expected in their field. These injuries can lead to lifelong disabilities and require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and specialized care.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various serious conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting movement and muscle coordination, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves that control arm movement, typically resulting from shoulder dystocia during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply during birth, potentially leading to developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
• Skull Fractures: Physical trauma during delivery that can cause serious brain injury and developmental issues.

Several healthcare facilities serve the Coachella area, including:

• JFK Memorial Hospital
• Eisenhower Health
• Desert Regional Medical Center

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 7 in 1,000 births in the United States involve birth injuries. The Journal of Perinatal Medicine reports that many of these injuries are preventable with proper medical care and monitoring during pregnancy and delivery.
