Birth Injury Types

During labor and delivery many things can go wrong. While some birth injuries cannot be helped many are the result of medical negligence. There are many types of birth injuries. A few of the more common birth injuries include:

  • Brain Damage is the most common type of birth injury to occur. It happens when too much pressure is applied by a medical professional to a newborn's skull. It can also happen if medical devices like forceps or vacuums are used incorrectly.
  • Cerebral Palsy usually happens during the delivery when an infant is deprived of oxygen or suffers trauma to the brain.
  • Brachial Plexus occurs when a medical professional uses too much force on a newborns neck and/or shoulders while guiding the baby through the birth canal. A brachial plexus injury can cause paralysis and it can require surgery.
  • Paralysis can occur if too much pressure is applied by a medical professional while guiding the infant through the birth canal.

Each of these are serious injuries that often result in complications that require medical intervention and lifelong challenges that can require the support of caregivers.
