Negligent medical care can result in:

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Erb’s Palsy
  • Head injury
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Paralysis
  • Death

Injuries can occur to either the mother, the child, or both, and may occur during pregnancy or during labor and delivery. Birth injuries often involve:

  • Failure to properly monitor the baby during labor and delivery.
  • Failure to recognize the need for a cesarean section or delay in performing it.
  • Failure to deliver the baby timely.
  • Failure to detect or prevent hypoxia or asphyxia.
  • Failure to diagnose birth defects that could have been treated in utero.
  • Failure to recognize a medical condition of the mother that can affect the baby, such as infection or high blood pressure.
  • Failure to properly and timely deliver a baby stuck in the birth canal.
  • Failure to recognize an ectopic pregnancy.
  • Mishandling of the baby during delivery.
  • Administering the wrong medication or dosage during the pregnancy or in labor.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is not a disease but rather a condition. It is caused by damage to the part of the brain that controls movement, adversely affecting motion and posture. CP can be mild to severe. In severe cases, the child will likely be unable to perform daily living activities such as walking, talking, or feeding.
