Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can occur due to poor prenatal care or mistakes made by the delivering physician or other medical personnel. Regardless of the cause of birth injuries, in most cases they are irreversible.

The most common forms of debilitating birth injury are shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus palsy, Erb's palsy, and Klumpke's palsy. These are generally caused by doctor error during the birthing process and result in nerve damage and reduced motor function of the arm. Another common birth injury, prenatal asphyxia, can result in brain damage and reduced motor function.

If your child has suffered a birth injury due to the negligence of a doctor or medical provider, your child deserves compensation. These financial resources can provide for the long-term care and rehabilitation your child needs.
