Childbirth should be a time of joy and anticipation, but when things go wrong due to medical negligence, the consequences can be devastating. At Menzer Law Group, we specialize in providing compassionate and powerful legal representation to families affected by birth injuries. Our goal is to apply our experience and expertise in navigating the complexities of medical malpractice claims so that you can focus on the well-being of your family.
Understanding Birth Injuries and Medical Negligence
Birth injuries can result from actions taken or neglected during pregnancy and childbirth that deviate from accepted medical standards of practice. These injuries may lead to long-term and life-changing disabilities or even fatal outcomes, profoundly impacting the lives of affected families. Distinguishing between birth defects—which are typically congenital conditions arising from genetic issues or environmental factors—and injuries caused by medical errors is crucial for any legal claim.
Our legal team at Menzer Law Group has extensive experience handling a variety of birth injury claims, including:
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: These injuries involve damage to the network of nerves that send signals to the child’s shoulders, arms, and hands, potentially leading to paralysis or loss of function.
- Facial Paralysis: Often caused by improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors during delivery, resulting in temporary or permanent loss of facial muscle control.
- Asphyxia and Hypoxia: Serious conditions that occur when the baby does not receive enough oxygen during birth, potentially leading to brain damage and conditions like cerebral palsy.
- Forceps and Vacuum Extraction Injuries: The misuse of these tools can lead to various injuries, including skull fractures and intracranial hemorrhages.
- Cephalohematoma: This condition involves blood pooling under the cranial bones, sometimes leading to further serious complications.
- Cerebral Palsy: Often linked to hypoxia, cerebral palsy affects a child’s motor skills and muscle tone and can have varying degrees of severity.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: These are less common but particularly severe and can result from trauma during delivery.
