Brain Damage, Birth Defects, Cerebral Palsy, Erb's Palsy, and Brachial Plexus Palsy

When infants are seriously injured during the birth process, a time of great joy quickly turns to sadness and worry. Overwhelmed parents may find it difficult to focus their attention on deciding whether or not to consider legal action, but this is extremely important for two reasons:
  • The cost of lifetime medical care for a child with birth injuries can be staggering. It is important to ensure that resources are available so that the child will be properly cared for while the parents are alive and after they are deceased.
  • Early investigation into a medical malpractice event, including birth injury, maternal injury or wrongful death, makes all the difference. Over time, records are lost, memories fade, and evidence can disappear. An early and thorough investigation protects the infant and the family. There are also strict time limits in birth injury lawsuits, and prompt action is critical to a successful resolution.
When trained doctors, nurses, midwives and other medical professionals fail to anticipate, recognize, react and respond properly, fail to notice warning signs or otherwise deviate from accepted standards of care, newborns are placed at risk. A doctor may have misread fetal monitoring equipment, failed to recognize fetal distress during labor, delayed performing a Cesarean Section, administered too much or too little medication - all of these mistakes can lead to birth injuries. Unfortunately, many common scenarios are not handled correctly and the results are tragic.

The most serious birth injuries are those that affect a child's skull and brain. Brain tissue is easily injured by a lack of oxygen or bleeding within the skull or brain. Injuries also take place when excessive force is applied during delivery, sometimes with forceps, vacuum devices, or through the improper maneuvers in attempting to deliver a large baby. If the delivery team fails to reasonably and accurately anticipate the size and weight of the infant, the result may be a stressful delivery. A difficult delivery can lead to prolonged bleeding in the baby's brain, with severe long-term effects. It may also result in an Erb's Palsy injury.

Two of the most common birth injuries are known as Cerebral Palsy and Erb's (or brachial plexus) palsy. Both Cerebral Palsy and Erb's palsy are very often the result of medical negligence.
