Pennsylvania Birth Injuries
The process of giving birth brings with it some inherent complications. Unfortunately, though, there are also some avoidable mistakes that carry very serious consequences. Birth injuries tend to be quite serious because the newborn baby has a relatively loose hold on life, as they have not yet fully developed many of the bodily functions necessary for maintaining health.
The Pennsylvania birth injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. understand that birth injuries can be very traumatic for the family because the promise of new life can be tainted by a medical mistake that could have been averted. For more information, call Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. today at 610-667-7511.
Types of Birth Injuries
Various birth injuries can be caused by not performing a C-section at the correct time, or pressure on the baby’s head. Most are caused by lack of oxygen, which is most often the result of the umbilical cord being wrapped around the baby. The lack of oxygen can cause very serious brain problems, including cerebral palsy. Some of the more common birth injuries are:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Cephalohematoma
- Facial Paralysis
- Brain and Spinal Damage
- Post-natal Infections
- Shaken Baby Syndrome
Birth injuries can be especially tragic, not only due to their effects on the baby, but also because of the heartache, anxiety, and financial stress that a family must endure.
