Bridgewater Birth Injury Attorneys

Carelessness and negligence in the delivery room can lead birth injuries and tragic life-long consequences for the child and his or her family.

Failure to properly monitor the baby's condition can cause hypoxia, or lack of oxygen. If deprived for any significant period, the baby will suffer permanent brain damage. Delayed development and mental handicaps are a heavy burden for the child and family.

Other injuries occur when the baby is not positioned ideally to enter the mother's pelvis. Cesarean section may be called for in order to avoid injury. Shoulder dystocia cerebral palsy, and Erb’s Palsy are examples of injury to the child that can usually be avoided by competent physicians and nurses. Improper use of forceps injure infants also.
