Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or immediately after birth. These injuries can result in lifelong complications that require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. Medical professionals have a duty to provide appropriate care and prevent avoidable injuries. When they fail to meet this standard, families have the right to seek legal recourse.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various types of injuries, including:

Cerebral palsy often results from oxygen deprivation during delivery, affecting a child's muscle control and coordination.

This condition affects the brachial plexus nerves, potentially causing permanent arm weakness or paralysis.

HIE occurs when the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen during birth, potentially leading to severe developmental delays and cognitive impairments.
