Birth Injuries

Birth Injury Lawyers Representing Families in Texas and Nationwide

The birth of a new baby should be a joyful occasion for families, but when a medical error leads to a birth injury, joy can quickly give way to tragedy. Birth injuries occur when a trauma directly before, during, or after a birth causes harm to an infant. The most common cause of birth injuries is a lack of oxygen to the brain, which can cause permanent damage or even death. Unlike birth defects, birth injuries can be directly traced to medical negligence in the form of delivery errors, insufficient prenatal care, or incorrect diagnoses. Common birth injuries include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Erb’s palsy
• Jaundice
• Infection
• Collar bone fractures
• Forceps errors that cause bruising or bleeding of the skull or head
• Spinal cord damage
• Shoulder dystocia
