Birth Injury Profile
Connecticut Birth Injury Profile –
birthinjuryadvice.com
Experts estimate that three to five babies in
every 1,000 are injured during labor and
delivery. While some injuries are unpreventable,
medical neglect and error can play a role in
certain types of injuries. When a child suffers
irreparable harm during the birth process, the
Connecticut birth injury attorneys at Haymond
Law can help.
Birth injuries vary dramatically, from temporary
problems that can be resolved during a short
hospital stay, to long-term medical conditions
such as Cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and others.
Medical and healthcare providers are trained to
recognize the risk factors and warning signs for
harm during labor and delivery – but when those
signs aren't detected early enough, serious
damage can occur.
Cerebral palsy is a condition in which brain
damage affects body movement and muscle
coordination. Erb's palsy involves temporary or
permanent loss of mobility in the hand, finger
or arm, typically after difficult deliveries
involving the use of forceps or vacuum devices.
Other traumatic birth injuries include:
- Klumpke's palsy, which causes paralysis
of the hand and wrist.
- Torticollis, in which the baby's head
and neck tilt to one side.
- Shoulder dystocia, which occurs when the
baby's shoulder becomes lodged in the birth
canal.
If you believe your child suffered a birth

Legal action cannot heal the injury or loss of a
child, but financial compensation can help
ensure the best medical treatment and hold
negligent parties responsible.
