What is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is physical trauma to a child that occurs shortly before, during, or after birth.
While some birth injuries can’t be avoided, even when a doctor exercises all due caution, many happen because of avoidable medical mistakes and errors.
When a child’s birth injury is the result of medical malpractice, the family reserves the right to pursue damages through a personal injury lawsuit.

What Causes Birth Injuries?
Some of the most commonly cited causes of avoidable birth injuries include:
- Failing to monitor a child in the womb, during labor, and after birth
- Failing to order necessary diagnostic tests or labs to evaluate a baby’s health
- Failing to notice a child and/or their mother is in distress
- Improper use of birthing instruments, including vacuums and forceps
- Pharmaceutical errors, particularly involving induction medications like Pitocin or Misoprostol
- Unnecessary delay of a cesarean section
- Surgical errors during a C-Section
- Failing to consider a child’s estimated weight, gestational age, and positioning within the uterus
Obstetricians, nurse midwives, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are expected to use the skills, knowledge, and experience they’ve gained throughout their years of training. If they fail to do what a reasonably prudent healthcare provider would have done under similar circumstances and a child is injured – either temporarily or permanently – they can be liable for resulting damages.
