Who Can File a Birth Injury Lawsuit?
Parents or guardians of a child harmed by medical negligence during childbirth can file a birth injury lawsuit. When doctors or other medical staff make mistakes during delivery, these errors may count as medical malpractice.
Common Birth Injuries in Lawsuits
You might be able to file a birth injury lawsuit if your child suffered from any of these injuries:
- Brain Damage: Problems like hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) happen when a baby doesn’t get enough oxygen during delivery.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: Damage to the nerves in the arm or hand, often leading to Erb’s palsy.
- Caput Succedaneum: Swelling of the baby’s scalp caused by delivery.
- Cephalohematoma: Bleeding under the baby’s scalp that creates a lump.
- Cerebral Palsy: A lifelong condition caused by brain damage that affects movement and coordination.
- Fractures: Broken bones, like a collarbone (clavicle), during a difficult delivery.
- Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): Brain damage that affects white matter near the brain’s ventricles.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage caused by too much pulling or force during delivery, usually affecting the neck.
If your child has one of these injuries or any other harm from childbirth, you might qualify to file a birth injury lawsuit.
