Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery when medical professionals fail to meet the standard of care. While Foster City benefits from excellent medical facilities, preventable birth injuries still occur.

Birth injuries can manifest in various forms, each requiring specific medical attention and legal consideration:

• Cerebral Palsy resulting from oxygen deprivation
• Erb's Palsy and shoulder dystocia
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Brachial plexus injuries

• Facial paralysis
• Fractures during delivery

Foster City residents have access to several prestigious medical facilities:

According to recent studies, approximately 7 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that birth injuries contribute significantly to infant mortality rates. Research published in the Journal of Perinatal Medicine indicates that proper medical intervention can prevent up to 50% of birth injuries.
