New York City Birth Injury Lawsuit
One of the most devastating and tragic types of injury caused by medical malpractice are those birth injuries that cause lifelong disability, expense and total dependence. These cases often involve a situation where a healthy unborn child suffers the consequences of carelessness at or around the time of birth resulting in damage to the brain or peripheral nervous system. Instead of a healthy child living a normal life, a child is born with damage to the brain or other body system that prevent learning and development at the pace of other children, necessitate medications, surgeries, wheelchairs, braces, therapies, and may ultimately prevent the child from attaining any independence as an adult.
The lives of every member of a family can be impacted by injuries of this type. These children require special medical care and therapies and educational interventions that put a strain on the entire household. Parents are especially concerned about who will care for their child when they are no longer able to.
Some common types of birth injury include:
Oxygen deprivation
Problems with the placenta
Placental abruption
Placental infection
Placenta previa
Problems with the umbilical cord
Mismanagement of gestational diabetes
Mismanagement of elevated blood pressure during pregnancy
Failure to diagnose and treat intrauterine growth retardation
Failure to recognize and treat pre-term labor
Negligently permitting pregnancy to go too long
Failure to recognize and treat incompetent cervix
Traumatic delivery
