Causes of Birth Injuries
Although the doctor or nurse practitioner who is delivering the baby should have experience with virtually any situation, negligence and mistakes may still occur. These injuries arise from the misconduct of some sort, either intentional or accidental. When these mistakes, in turn, cause injury or harm to either mother or child, this could leave you entitled to compensation for the damages.
Common causes of birth injuries caused by negligence include:
- Improper use of forceps
- Improper use of vacuum
- Excessive force during removal
- Perinatal Hypoxia
- Improper administration of medication
- Waiting too long to perform a C-Section
- Failure to recognize fetal distress
- Failure to monitor a baby with a slow heart rate
- Injuries suffered because of an improperly given epidural
- Inducing labor at the wrong moment or with the wrong amount of medication
