Birth Injuries

A birth injury is a term used to describe injuries which occur due to complications which arise during pregnancy, labour, or immediately after the birth of the baby.

Examples of birth injuries arising due to negligence:

  • Injuries to the mother to include tearing

  • Cerebral palsy

  • Brachial Plexus and Erb’s Palsy injuries

  • Facial injuries

  • Injuries caused by forceps

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Bone fractures

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Fatal injuries
