San Francisco Birth Injury

A birth injury is essentially physical damage that is sustained by an infant during the labor process or while the infant makes his or her way through the mother's birth canal.  Believe it or not, it is very common for infants to sustain minor injuries during birth.  When injuries are minor, the infants will get better without treatment and with the passage of time.  However, when injuries are serious, infants may never recover from their injuries and may live the rest of their lives with debilitating side effects and disabilities.

How do Birth Injuries Occur?

Birth injuries can occur at anytime during the labor and/or delivery process and may be caused by a variety of factors.  Yet, the leading cause of serious birth injuries happens to be medical negligence.  Below are some examples:

  • Medical professionals may misuse medical devices, such as vacuums, while trying to deliver infants.  Anytime this happens, infants may sustain head, neck and/or shoulder injuries.

  • Medical professionals may fail to diagnose medical conditions prior to the infant's delivery.  For instance, a mother may have gestational diabetes which could endanger her baby if her doctor fails to diagnose her medical condition.

  • Medical professionals may use too much force while guiding infants through the birth canal, which commonly results in brain damage and brachial plexus injuries.

  • Medical professionals may fail to monitor mothers during the labor and/or delivery process, which could lead to infants being endangered.

Anytime parents suspect that their child has a birth injury, they will want to obtain representation from a skilled birth injury lawyer.  At our San Francisco law office, we have handled cases involving:  brachial plexus injury, infant brain damage, birth head trauma, breech delivery injury, cerebral palsy birth injury, failure to diagnose down syndrome, fetal distress and oxygen deficiency.  We have also represented parents who have lost their babies due to wrongful death.
