Birth injuries represent serious medical incidents that can occur when healthcare providers deviate from established standards of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. The consequences often extend far beyond the immediate trauma, potentially resulting in long-term medical complications that require extensive treatment and continuous care throughout a person's life.

Birth injuries can manifest in various forms, affecting different parts of the body. Some common physical injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy: A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves, affecting arm movement and sensation.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery.
• Fractures: Including skull fractures and broken collarbones during difficult deliveries.

Neurological birth injuries can have lasting effects on a child's development:

• Brain Damage: Often resulting from oxygen deprivation or physical trauma during birth.
• Seizure Disorders: Resulting from trauma or oxygen deprivation during birth.
