Types of Birth Injuries
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, often occurring during or shortly after childbirth. Common causes include lack of oxygen to the brain, trauma during delivery, and infections.
Erb's Palsy
Erb's palsy, also known as brachial plexus birth palsy, is a condition that affects the movement and sensation in a child's arm. It is typically caused by injury to the brachial plexus nerves during a difficult delivery. This injury can occur due to excessive pulling or stretching of the baby's neck during birth.
Shoulder Dystocia
Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury that occurs when the baby's shoulder gets stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone during delivery. This can result in complications such as brachial plexus injuries, fractured bones, and lack of oxygen. It is often associated with larger babies, gestational diabetes, and prolonged labor.
Causes of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can have various causes, and understanding these causes is essential in determining liability and seeking compensation. Some common causes include:
- Medical negligence or malpractice
- Prolonged labor or difficult delivery
- Lack of oxygen during birth
- Improper use of delivery tools, such as forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to perform a timely cesarean section
