The birth of a child is an occasion filled with anticipation and hope. Unfortunately, for some families, this experience is marred by the devastating reality of a birth injury. These injuries may have been preventable, and when they do occur, they can have lifelong consequences for both the child and the family. When medical negligence results in a birth injury, a dedicated medical malpractice attorney could help you and your family pursue justice. At Burnett Injury Group, we understand the profound impact birth injuries can have on both the child and their family. Contact us today to schedule your consultation with an Annapolis birth injury lawyer.

What Common Negligent Acts Lead to Birth Injuries?

Birth injuries can occur due to a variety of medical errors. Some of the most common negligent acts that lead to these injuries include:

  • Oxygen deprivation: Failure to monitor fetal heart rate, delayed C-section, or improper use of delivery instruments can lead to oxygen deprivation, resulting in brain damage or cerebral palsy.
  • Shoulder dystocia: Difficulty delivering the baby’s shoulders can cause brachial plexus injuries, Erb’s palsy, or other nerve damage.
  • Improper use of forceps or vacuum: Excessive force or improper application of these instruments can result in brain damage, skull fractures, or facial paralysis.
  • Failure to diagnose or treat infections: Untreated infections can lead to sepsis, which can cause severe complications and even death. 
  • Medication errors: Improper administration of medications during labor and delivery can have harmful effects on the baby.
