Chester County Birth Injuries Lawyer

Birth injuries encompass various types, affecting both the child and the mother. Our experienced Chester County birth injury lawyers will take on cases involving:

Bone Fractures

During challenging deliveries, excessive force may lead to bone fractures in the newborn.

Facial Paralysis

Pressure on the baby’s face during delivery can result in temporary or permanent damage to the facial nerves.

Cerebral Palsy

A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and movement, often caused by brain damage during childbirth.

Brachial Plexus Injuries

Damage to the nerves in the upper arm during delivery can cause weakness or paralysis in the arm.

Erb’s Palsy

Nerve damage in the neck and shoulder during childbirth can lead to arm weakness or paralysis.

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Oxygen deprivation during childbirth can result in HIE, a brain injury with potential long-term neurological complications.

While the primary focus is on the child, it’s essential to acknowledge that birth injuries can extend to the mother. Our legal team understands the importance of addressing injuries and trauma suffered by mothers during childbirth. These can include:

Perineal Tears

Improper medical procedures or negligence may cause tears in the perineum, requiring surgical repair.

Uterine Rupture

Mismanagement during labor can lead to a uterine rupture, a severe and potentially life-threatening condition.

Postpartum Hemorrhage

Inadequate medical care during or after childbirth can result in excessive bleeding, posing serious risks to the mother’s health.

Infections

Negligence in maintaining proper hygiene can lead to infections, impacting the mother’s well-being.

Anesthesia Complications

Mishandling of anesthesia during childbirth may result in complications, affecting the mother’s immediate and long-term health.

Birth injuries to both mother and child can transpire at various stages of pregnancy and delivery. These injuries may result from medical negligence, errors during labor, inadequate prenatal care, or the improper use of medical tools. Understanding the specifics of when and where the injury occurred is vital for building a comprehensive case.
