Types of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or shortly after birth. Some common types of birth injuries include:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Brachial plexus injuries (Erb’s palsy and Klumpke’s palsy)
  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
  • Skull fractures and brain damage
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Facial paralysis

Failure to monitor fetal distress, improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors, delayed C-section, and failure to diagnose and treat maternal infections can cause these injuries.

Fighting the Insurance Company

When pursuing a birth injury claim, you will likely be going up against the hospital’s insurance company and its team of lawyers.

These entities have vast resources and will do everything in their power to minimize or deny your claim. They may even try to pressure you into accepting a low settlement offer that does not adequately compensate your family for the harm you have suffered.

This is where having an experienced birth injury attorney on your side can make all the difference.

The attorneys in TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers’ network have the skills and tenacity to stand up to insurance companies and fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve. They will handle all communications and negotiations with the insurance company, allowing you to focus on caring for your child and family.

What to Do After a Birth Injury

If you suspect that your child has suffered a birth injury, it is important to take action to protect your legal rights and ensure that your child receives the care and support they need.

Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Seek immediate medical attention for your child and follow all treatment recommendations.
  2. Keep detailed records of all medical appointments, treatments, and expenses related to your child’s injury.
  3. Document your child’s progress and any challenges they face as a result of the injury.
