Birth Injury Cases
Birth injuries occur during labor and delivery and may result in temporary or permanent disabilities for the child affected. In some cases, the child may require months, years, or a lifetime of medical attention or care. Many birth injuries, such as bruising, swelling, forceps injuries, and others can and do heal within a few weeks.
If nerve damage has occurred, however, surgery may be required or the birth injury may be permanent. Birth injuries include facial paralysis, brachial plexus injury which is caused by shoulder damage during birth, and cerebral palsy, caused by brain trauma during birth.
