Birth injuries often result from medical negligence or complications during delivery. Common causes include:
- Failure to monitor fetal distress – If doctors do not track the baby’s oxygen levels or heart rate, it can lead to brain damage.
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors – These tools can cause nerve damage, fractures, or brain trauma.
- Delayed C-section – If a C-section is not performed in time, the baby may suffer oxygen deprivation.
- Failure to recognize maternal complications – Conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes increase the risk of birth injuries.
If you suspect that medical errors led to your child’s injury, seeking legal guidance is crucial.
