Understanding Birth Trauma

Types of Birth Injuries We Handle
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is a condition resulting from injury to the motor-control center of an infant’s developing brain. It can be caused by a lack of oxygen during or after delivery or physical trauma to the brain.
Brachial Plexus Injury
Also known as Erb’s Palsy, this injury occurs when the brachial plexus nerves in the baby’s shoulder are damaged during delivery, potentially resulting in paralysis or loss of function in the arm.
Fetal Distress
Fetal distress during labor requires immediate medical intervention. If healthcare providers fail to monitor and respond to signs of distress, it can lead to severe complications, including permanent brain damage or death.
