Birth Injury Lawyers in Atlanta, Georgia
While a mother is pregnant, she and her child are in the care of her physician. Indeed the physician is responsible for ensuring that both mother and baby are safe at all times, and it is their duty to report anything out of the ordinary.
For example, a large percentage of women use anesthesia when giving birth. However, most women are not aware that anesthesia is one of the top 10 causes of pregnancy-related birth injury. Anesthesia related injuries are the sole responsibility of the physician. Indeed it’s their responsibility to ensure that the mother is receiving proper anesthetic doses and that the baby is safe at all times.
In addition, many birth injuries are not necessarily apparent at the time of birth, but the child may have complications as they grow up. In some cases, birth injuries may not show themselves until months or years after birth.
Types of birth injury
There are a number of injuries that can occur during labor and delivery, but some are more common than others. Your infant may suffer from:
- Brachial Plexus Injuries (BPI)
- Bone Fractures
- Cephalohematoma
- Caput Succedaneum
- Perinatal Asphyxia
- Intracranial Hemorrhage
- Subconjunctival Hemorrhage
- Facial Paralysis
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Cerebral Palsy
While some injuries heal on their own or with minor medical intervention, others may lead to lifelong issues that impact families both financially and emotionally. In the worst case scenario, your family may have to cope with a birth injury for the rest of your lives.
