Birth Injury Lawyers NJBirth Injuries Caused By Medical Mistakes

Many birth injuries are obvious when they occur. However, if the baby has a brain or neurological injury, the baby may not show any symptoms of the injury until almost one year of age. Birth injuries can be the result of the development of the fetus or, in some cases, the result of an injury during or after the delivery process. Fortunately, some of these injuries are not serious and heal within weeks.

While medical professionals are trained to deal with unexpected difficult situations during the delivery process, mistakes do occur. Injuries resulting in long-term impairment are often the result of excessive force or improper administration of delivery procedures. In these instances, disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and Erb’s Palsy are often the end result.

Cerebral and Erb’s Palsy

Some birth injuries may be permanent or result in neurological disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and Erb’s Palsy. Cerebral Palsy is associated with oxygen starvation of the brain and can cause a number of developmental defects. Erb’s Palsy is the result of damage to the upper nerves in the baby’s arm, known as the brachial plexus, and can result in significant physical impairment and paralysis.
