Causes Of Long Beach Birth Injuries

Birth injuries and birth defects are complete different. A birth defect is a condition that occurs before or during birth because of an inherited medical condition, but a birth injury happens before, during, or immediately after birth, usually because of medical negligence.

Some of the most common causes of birth injuries include, but are not limited to:

Incorrect use of delivery instruments (forceps, vacuum extractors)
Failure to recognize and prepare for high-risk deliveries
Failure to properly treat excessive bilirubin
Failure to properly monitor and record the baby’s heart rate
Failure to order a timely caesarean section (C-section)
Infant oxygen deprivation
Delays in addressing complications during delivery
Failure to recognize and respond to fetal distress
Monitoring issues
Failure to diagnose and treat problems prior to delivery
Failure to follow protocols and procedures
Delays in or failure to request help
Failure to identify umbilical cord issues
Medication errors

The causes of birth injuries are not always immediately obvious. Many people will need the help of an attorney who can conduct a thorough investigation to determine the true cause of your child’s birth injury.

Types Of Long Beach Birth Injuries

Birth injuries can involve various parts of a child’s body, and the severity of the injuries can vary depending on numerous factors. Some injuries will heal relatively quickly with proper care, but many other injuries can require entire lifetimes of care.

Eclampsia
Fractures
Caput Succedaneum
Hydrocephalus
Preeclampsia
Plexus Injury
Perinatal Asphyxia
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

Mothers can also be the victims of birth injuries, with vaginal tears being one of the most common kinds of injuries mother sustain. Vaginal tears are usually classified into four degrees: first-degree tears involve skin-deep tears possibly requiring stitches, second-degree tears involve tears to muscles of vagina and skin around the anus, third-degree tears involve damage to muscles controlling the anus, and fourth-degree tears involve damage to lining or muscles of the anus.

A mother could also sustain post-partum haemorrhage (PPH), ruptured uterus, post-natal depression (PND), prolapsed uterus, and post-natal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Often wrongful blame is placed on the rider in a multi-vehicle collision due to the increased risk that comes with riding a motorcycle. Insurance companies are reluctant to side with the motorcyclist and oftentimes will attempt to place the full or partial blame on them. Don’t accept that blame and the legal repercussions that come with it.
