A birth injury is any type of
damage inflicted on the infant's body before, during or just after
birth. Injuries range from minor bruises and skin irritations to
severe damage to the brain that may result in the death of the infant.
These brain injuries occur when the child is deprived of oxygen
or is bleeding inside the brain from trauma during pregnancy, labor
or delivery.
In some circumstances, oxygen
deprivation can occur naturally during the labor and delivery process.
For example, the umbilical cord can become compressed or twisted
in the birthing process and may cut off the supply of oxygen to
the brain. Other instances include when the baby is too large to
pass through the birth canal easily, or the baby is breach or sideways
in the womb. The medical team must be prepared for these situations
and act immediately to save the child.
Some common types of birth injuries
include:
- Skin irritations
- Temporary paralysis
- Fractured collar bone
- Fractured arm
- Cerebral Palsy
- Brain damage
- Erb's Palsy and Brachial Plexus Palsy
There are many "natural"
circumstances wherein oxygen deprivation can occur during the labor
and delivery process: the umbilical cord can become compressed or
twisted in the birth process; the baby is too large to pass through
the birth canal easily, or the baby is breach or sideways in the
womb.
If you suspect your infant has
suffered a birth injury as a result of medical negligence, it is
imperative that you contact an experienced personal injury law firm
immediately after birth. The Los Angeles birthing injury lawyers of
the Law Offices of Kirk Bernard are experienced in handling these
serious injury and wrongful death cases.
