What Is a Birth Injury?
A birth injury is physical harm sustained by a newborn during the birthing process, often as a result of medical negligence. Unlike birth defects (which are usually genetic), birth injuries are typically caused by human error, such as failure to monitor vital signs, improper use of forceps or vacuum tools, or delays in performing a cesarean section.
These cases can involve:
-
Failure to respond to fetal distress
-
Improper handling during delivery
-
Delayed diagnosis of complications
-
Negligent prenatal care
-
Inappropriate medication or anesthesia use
