Very serious birth injuries can mean a lifetime of care and medical treatment. When the injury can be traced to medical malpractice, those responsible should be held accountable:
- When doctors and nurses fail to notice a baby in distress during labor or when they fail to act quickly and appropriately, the baby may be deprived of oxygen, causing brain injury and cerebral palsy.
- If an obstetrician fails to perform a C-section for a baby, that decision may result in an improper delivery as the child is pulled from the birth canal. Shoulder dystocia (causing Erb's palsy) may be the result. Shoulder dystocia can require multiple surgeries and the nerve damage may never be completely cured.
