Causes of Birth Injuries

Birth injuries are often traced to the doctor. If a treating doctor fails to provide proper care to the unborn child and/or mother during the term of the pregnancy or the delivery, they may be responsible. Although it is impossible to list all cause of birth injuries, examples include:

• Premature birth
• Too large/small baby
• Prolonged labor
• Maternal complications
• Breech birth
• Delivery complications
• Complications relating to placenta/cords/membranes

Any failure to timely address and treat these conditions can result in injury to the mother and/or child.
