Birth Trauma
It’s been called the most difficult trip we make in our lifetime – the delivery of a fetus through the birth canal. More often than not, the infant makes the trip safely. However, an infant may suffer preventable trauma during the process of childbirth, trauma that leads to physical injury, brain damage, even death. A birth injury may permanently affect the quality of a child’s life. Every birth injury is tragic, but when the trauma results from the negligence of medical professionals it is particularly difficult for a family to accept.
Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy, Erb’s Palsy, shoulder dystocia, and brain injury can all result from birth trauma. These birth trauma injuries affect the child’s quality of life, the child’s ability to learn and to succeed in life. When the injury is the result of the negligence by doctors or hospital staff, perhaps in failing to perform a cesarean section in a timely manner, or in failing to heed signs of fetal distress, the child is entitled to compensation for the losses he or she will suffer. That compensation can cover the costs of future medical treatment, rehabilitation, tutoring, and even loss of earnings.
