Injuries can happen during pregnancy as well as during or after birth. A medical caregiver who is improperly trained could injure your infant in the minutes after they’re born and at their most fragile. The list of possible birth injuries can include but are not limited to the following:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy (brachial plexus)
- Brain Swelling
- Hemorrhaging
- Bone Breaks
- Deep Bruising
- Dislocation of Shoulders
- Nerve Damage
- Strangulation
- Cephalohematoma (blood collection near skull bone)
- Caput Succedaneum (discolored/bruised scalp)
- Perinatal Asphyxia (lacking oxygen in blood or poor blood flow to newborn)
- Spinal Cord Damage
- Paralysis of Face
If any of the above conditions apply to your newborn, consult a Baltimore birth injury lawyer from the Greenberg Law Offices for legal advice. It is possible your doctor, supportive medical personnel, or other staff acted irresponsibly when handling your newborn, which directly caused or contributed to the birth injury condition.
