Birth Trauma-Cerebral Palsy-Erb’s Palsy-Shoulder Dystocia

When birth injuries are suffered as a result of obstetrical negligence, the results can be absolutely devastating. These birth injuries include injuries that occur to the mother or baby during the labor and delivery process. In these unfortunate cases, the injury occurs due to something that happens in the birthing process, such as improper fetal monitoring or improper delivery techniques. Serious injuries may also occur as a result of negligent prenatal care or care received after delivery. Some of the birth injuries and prenatal injuries that occur involve: Erb's palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, Shoulder Dystocia or Wrongful Death.
