Causes Of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can be caused by: 

  • Improper techniques 
  • Incorrect use of medical devices and equipment
  • Failure to recognize or misdiagnosis of serious conditions in the mother, such as hypertension
  • Doctor hesitation or failure to act

Brachial Plexus Injury

Also known as Erb’s Palsy, this physical injury can result in a limp arm, an inability to grip, partial or full paralysis and a loss of function in the affected arm. Brachial Plexus may be caused by the use of forceps or vacuum, or by pulling the baby out by its shoulders or legs.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is typically caused by oxygen deprivation, or trauma caused by being dropped or the use of forceps or vacuum, and can cause lack of muscle control, abnormal reflexes, limited coordination and difficulty communicating.

Brain Injuries

A brain injury may be caused by oxygen deprivation, physical trauma, infant jaundice, maternal infections and medications prescribed to the mother during pregnancy.

Effects of Birth Injuries

A birth injury can affect your child and your family far beyond birth. Your child may suffer from physical and mental disabilities, which can result in delayed development, the need for special education classes, specialized therapy and so on.
