When a healthcare provider fails in their obligation to provide adequate medical care and treatment during labor and delivery, the unfortunate and tragic results may be a serious birth injury. While some birth injuries are minor, the majority can affect the baby's quality of life forever.

Children with birth injuries struggle with developmental delays, motor skill impairment and more. An injury at birth can mean multiple surgeries, a lifetime of attendant care, recurring medical conditions and problems and an adversely effected quality of life. Birth injuries can be responsible for cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy, premature delivery, brain injuries and microcephaly.
