You spent nine months taking every step to nurture the health of your pregnancy and preparing for the arrival of your new baby.

Common Birth Injuries
There are many types of birth injuries. Among the most common and severe include the following:

Cerebral Palsy
A significant number of babies have cerebral palsy because of malpractice by medical personnel during the labor and delivery process.

Brachial Plexus (Erb’s) Palsy
The nerves of a baby’s arm run from the neck, under the shoulder, through the armpit, and into the arm. These nerves can be torn during delivery, leaving the child with a permanent disability affecting the movement and growth of his or her arm, hand, or shoulder. Such an injury is called a brachial plexus injury—also known as Erb’s palsy—and is often caused by a doctor’s mistake or negligence during delivery.

Other Birth-Related Injuries
During childbirth, instruments used to assist in the delivery of the baby can cause skull fractures, spinal cord or brain injuries, or facial scarring. Sometimes, these birth injuries are caused by medical mistakes, in which the doctors and/or staff didn’t act with reasonable care. In such cases you may need the help of a New York birth injury lawyer.
