Millions of babies are born in the United States every year. Nearly 30,000 of those babies suffer some type of birth injury because of a doctor’s negligence.

Types of Birth Injuries
Since newborns are fragile, they require a great deal of care when being delivered. Birth injuries occur when medical providers are careless when handling newborns. Common injuries that result from this carelessness are:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Cephalohematoma
- Facial Paralysis
- Brain and Spinal Damage
- Post-natal Infections
- Shaken Baby Syndrome
Any of these injuries may result in permanent, painful ailments. The parents of victims should hold their doctors accountable when their newborn suffers one of these preventable and avoidable injuries.
Suing a healthcare provider may be a difficult task, so individuals should seek legal assistance when filing their claims. Additionally, an experienced lawyer may be able to help parents of injured babies identify additional parties who are responsible for bringing harm to their precious newborns.
