A birth injury is defined as “damage or injury to a child before, during, or just after the birthing process”, and, in many cases, is completely preventable. Often caused by sheer medical negligence on the part of physicians and medical staff, birth injuries can be minor in nature, such as bruising or lacerations, or can be more severe such as broken bones or prolonged oxygen deprivation, or even death. Learning or developmental delays and behavioral issues are also not uncommon results following a birth injury. Regardless of the type of injury, birth injuries can be devastating, and usually result in life-long consequences significantly affecting the health of the child and their quality of life.
