Brain Injury

A birth injury may occur when a doctor does not react quickly and sufficiently to signals of a patient's distress or when substandard care is provided during the pregnancy or birthing process.

These factors may result in devastating effects on the mother and/or child. Lifelong paralysis, brain damage, and even death may happen if a doctor does not provide adequate medical care to the patient.

Some birth injuries that may occur due to substandard care are:

• Bone fractures
• Damage to the spinal cord
• Bruising and skin irritation
• Paralysis
• Infections
• Brain damage
• Internal bleeding
• Injury due to forceps
• Cerebral Palsy
• Brachial Plexus
