Your Houston-Based Shoulder Dystocia Lawyers

When a baby is too large or the mother’s pelvic opening is too small, the baby is at risk for Shoulder Dystocia. This condition occurs when a baby’s head is delivered through the vagina, but the shoulders get stuck inside the mother’s body. Complications may cause injury to the mother and child, including some palsies.
