Common Birth Injuries
Because the process of childbirth is so sensitive, there is ample opportunity for complications to arise. When these complications could have been avoided with proper care from doctors, however, it can be possible to hold those doctors responsible for their lack of attention or misjudgment.
The most common kinds of birth injury scenarios include:
- Misuse of birthing equipment (vacuum extractor, forceps, etc.)
- Failure to order a cesarean section (“c-section”) when one was needed
- Failure to detect umbilical cord entanglement
- Failure to appropriately react to signs of fetal distress
