What Is a Birth Injury?

When we talk about “birth injuries,” we are generally speaking of injuries sustained by a child during the birthing process. Not all of these injuries are permanent, but those that are often require years, even a lifetime, of care.

A doctor or attendee who is negligent to your needs during labor or delivery can cause irreparable damage to the mother and the child.

What Are The Causes of Birth Injuries?

Medical malpractice – Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in this country, and they contribute to the number of birth injuries in South Florida every year.

Failing to monitor mother and child, or to diagnose symptoms of an underlying problem, or making a mistake with a birth chart: all of these are considered acts of medical malpractice.

Delayed birth – When the birthing process has gone on for too long, the mother and the baby can go into distress. This will elevate the baby’s blood pressure, and puts pressure on the skull as well.

Delayed C-Section injuries are among the most common, and the most dangerous, types of birth injuries there are.

Oxygen deprivation – When the fetal brain is denied oxygen, it can lead to permanent brain damage or even death. Babies who are delivered too young, or who have the umbilical cord wrapped around their necks, or who should have been delivered by C-section as opposed to vaginally, are at an increased risk of oxygen deprivation.
