Many types of birth injuries are caused by medical negligence. One of the most
common causes of birth injuries is oxygen deprivation, which commonly occurs
when the umbilical cord is compressed or twisted in the birth process. Another
common cause of birth injuries is mechanical trauma, which occurs when the baby
is too large to pass through the birth canal.
The most serious birth injuries are those that affect the brain. They are caused
by oxygen deprivation or bleeding within the skull or brain. These injuries
vary greatly in severity. They may lead to long-term seizure disorders or cause
cerebral palsy or mental retardation.
Some of the most common birth injuries are: Cerebral Palsy, Erbs Palsy, Brachial
Plexus Palsy, Klumpke’s Palsy, Shoulder Dystocia, and fractured collar
bones.
