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.
