Has your child been affected by common Maryland birth injuries?

Medical negligence can occur at any point in an individual’s life, including birth.  It’s important that you recognize potential signs of the most common Maryland birth injuries.

Common Maryland Birth Injuries

Medical doctors should diagnose any problems that occur during birth. However, several common Maryland birth injuries could arise that may lead to permanent injury to your baby.

Fractures

Infants may experience fractures when entering the world. Collar bone fractures are the most common injury.

Brachial Plexus

The brachial plexus is a collection of nerves around your shoulders. Harm to the brachial plexus can occur if the doctor botches the delivery.

Cephalohematoma

Cephalohematoma is a hemorrhage of blood in a child’s skull. If mistakes are made that lead to extended delivery, then this hemorrhage can result in a birth injury.

Perinatal Asphyxia

Perinatal asphyxia is a condition that occurs when infants don’t receive enough oxygen. If a doctor doesn’t act to remove the umbilical cord from around the child’s neck, this could be the result.
