Birth injuries can range from mild, temporary conditions to severe, permanent disabilities. Understanding the type of injury your child has suffered is crucial when pursuing legal action. Some of the most common birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy: Often caused by oxygen deprivation during birth, cerebral palsy affects muscle control and coordination, potentially requiring lifelong care and assistance.
• Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb's Palsy and Klumpke's Palsy): These injuries affect the nerve network connecting the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand, often resulting from excessive force during delivery.
• Fractures: Broken bones, particularly clavicle (collarbone) fractures, can occur during difficult deliveries.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis.
• Facial Paralysis: Pressure on facial nerves during birth can cause temporary or permanent facial paralysis.

• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain, HIE can lead to severe cognitive impairments.
• Intracranial Hemorrhage: Bleeding in or around the brain can cause serious brain damage.
• Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): This involves damage to the white matter of the brain, often leading to cerebral palsy.

• Caput Succedaneum: Swelling of the soft tissues of the baby's scalp.
• Cephalohematoma: Blood collection between the skull and periosteum.
• Kernicterus: Brain damage caused by severe jaundice.
