Having a baby is supposed to be a joy. However, a birth injury can create a lot of physical and emotional damage to a family. This includes financial strain due to the physical therapy and other expenses from having a special needs child. In the U.S., hospitalization for birth defects costs nearly $2.6 billion dollars on an annual basis. The Michael Brady Lynch Firm has over 20 years of experience helping families get the compensation after their child is the victim of birth injuries.

Birth Injury Causes

Approximately 27 of every 1,000 births in the United States results in a birth injury. A birth injury is any type of damage to an infant’s body before, during or just after birth. Birth defects can cause death or mental and physical impairment. Medical negligence is a common cause of injuries to a newborn. Doctors and other health care professionals must exercise the utmost care to avoid injury to babies. This is especially true during vulnerable times of labor induction, Cesarean section (C-section), and mechanically assisted (forceps) births. Babies who experience severe oxygen deprivation to the brain or head trauma, during these delicate obstetrical procedures often die or face disabilities.
Approximately 10,000 babies each year develop cerebral palsy (a condition which impacts the ability to control movement) as a result of oxygen deprivation. Oxygen shortage also causes hypoxic-ischemic cephalopathy brain damage. Other types of traumatic obstetric birth injuries include prenatal asphyxia, Erbs Palsy or Brachial Plexus Palsy, Klumpke’s Palsy, Torticollis, and Shoulder Dystocia. Additionally, fractures, spinal cord trauma, cephalohematoma, and intracranial hemorrhage may be the result of preventable obstetrical damage.
