Our team at Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols can consult with you and investigate further to see if a doctor had made a grave mistake when treating you and your newborn. We are available to speak with you about a case today.

Common Birth Injuries

A birth injury is when harm is done to the baby at some point from pregnancy to after delivery. Some injuries are minor and may not have permanent impacts. But for others, the consequences are severe and can lead to permanent disabilities, affecting the baby’s physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities. Medical professionals who fail to abide by the standard of care may be liable for how families and their newborns have suffered. As our dedicated birth injury attorney explains, common examples of birth injuries can include:

  • Birth Asphyxia: essential oxygen and nutrient deprivation can affect the baby’s brain and vital organs. Lack of oxygen can lead to acid buildup in cells, potentially causing brain injuries and cerebral palsy to develop.
  • Birth Trauma: When too much pressure is applied to the baby’s body or head, it’s likely to cause birth trauma. This damaging pressure can happen from poor handling during labor, overuse of drugs, inappropriate use of forceps or vacuum, and other complications.
  • Improper Prenatal Care: doctors must perform routine ultrasounds and other tests to identify and remedy medical risk factors before they worsen. Proper prenatal care entails controlling maternal medical conditions and assessing the mother’s overall health and wellbeing.
  • Untreated or Mistreated Maternal Health: conditions that a doctor may fail to treat in the mother include diabetes, cardiovascular problems, obesity, high blood pressure, blood clots, anemia, bleeding, severe nausea and vomiting, depression and anxiety, and infections.
