Causes of Birth Injuries

Birth Injury Lawyer

Here are some of the potential causes of birth injuries:

  • abnormal birth – such as shoulder dystocia
  • cephalopelvic disproportion – size and shape of mother’s pelvis is too small for delivery
  • delivery injury – bruising or forceps marks
  • dystocia – difficultly in labor or childbirth
  • large baby – weighing greater than 8 pounds, 4 ounces
  • medical negligence – failure to detect fetal abnormality
  • premature baby – born before 37 weeks
  • prolonged labor – duration of birth lasting more than 18 hours
