What constitutes a birth injury?
A birth injury is defined as any physical harm or medical issue suffered by a baby just before, during, or shortly after delivery, which is frequently caused by complications or medical errors. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we inform parents that birth injuries can range from minor ailments that heal rapidly to serious, lifelong impairments necessitating constant medical treatment. These injuries can happen when medical professionals don't follow basic procedures, ignore signals of fetal distress, or make mistakes during labor and delivery.
Common birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brachial plexus injuries, fractures, nerve damage, oxygen deprivation, and brain trauma caused by incorrect delivery equipment or delayed emergency attention. Some injuries result from failure to monitor the mother or infant, mismanagement of high-risk pregnancies, or failure to perform a necessary C-section on time. While certain issues are unavoidable, many can be avoided with proper medical care.
If your child has unanticipated problems during birth, it could be due to medical carelessness.
How can I determine whether my child's damage was caused by medical negligence?
Determining whether your child's birth damage was caused by medical negligence can be difficult, especially if you are already dealing with mental and physical issues. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we assist families recognize the indicators of poor medical care.
Warning signals may include delayed responses to fetal distress, failure to adequately monitor the mother or infant, incorrect use of forceps or vacuum devices, or delays in conducting a necessary C-section. If your kid suffered from oxygen deprivation, odd bruises, brachial plexus damage, convulsions, or needed immediate intensive care without a clear medical explanation, negligence may be involved. Unexpected difficulties during birth that were not explained or rejected by the medical personnel may also be indicators.
A comprehensive inquiry is the most effective technique to determine what happened. Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys examines medical records, talks with specialists, and determines whether all proper procedures were followed.
