The birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, but when medical negligence causes a birth injury, it can result in devastating consequences for both the baby and their family. At Oneway Law, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that birth injuries take. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to fighting for justice and securing compensation to help families provide the necessary care and support their child needs to thrive.
Common Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can result from medical errors during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. At Oneway Law, we handle cases involving:
- Cerebral Palsy: Caused by oxygen deprivation or trauma during delivery, leading to lifelong motor and developmental challenges.
- Brachial Plexus Injuries (Erb’s Palsy): Nerve damage from improper handling during delivery, often resulting in arm weakness or paralysis.
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen during birth.
- Shoulder Dystocia: Injury caused when a baby’s shoulder becomes stuck during delivery.
- Fractures: Bone fractures, often caused by excessive force during delivery.
- Facial Paralysis: Nerve damage from the improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe trauma to the spinal cord caused by negligence during delivery.
These injuries can lead to long-term medical complications, developmental delays, and the need for ongoing care.
