Statistics reveal that over 25% of all childbirths in the United States result in some type of birth injury. A baby who suffers a birth injury may recover quickly with no discernable after-effects or may face long-term physical and/or mental disabilities. Birth injuries are usually caused by medical negligence and malpractice during labor and delivery.

The birthing process involves many members of a team of healthcare professionals any one of which can make a mistake before, during or following the delivery of your baby. Common injuries at birth may include bone fractures, damage to the spinal cord, brain damage, internal bleeding, infection, cerebral palsy and paralysis.
