Most births occur without incident, and mother, father, and baby are
able to happily begin their new lives together. While this is the case
for most new parents, there are times in which the newborn suffers a
birth injury before, during, or after labor. The majority of birth
injuries occur while the baby is in the birth canal, but there are
other times that injuries may occur as well. Some of the injuries
sustained by newborns occur as a result of natural labor and delivery
processes, but other birth injuries are the result of the doctor's or
nurse's negligence or harmful acts. When a birth injury occurs due to
the medical negligence or harmful acts of a healthcare provider, the parents
of the injured child may have a medical malpractice claim. Robinson & Associates malpractice lawyers can help parents in Maryland and Washington D.C.
determine if they have a valid medical malpractice case.
Brain damage/injury is one of the most devastating birth injuries suffered by a child. The severity of the brain damage varies from child to child, and the ways in which the child's life is affected will also vary. Cerebral palsy occurs as the result of brain damage during the birthing process when the child is deprived of oxygen. Children affected by brain damage may experience developmental delays and learning disabilities. Muscle function, control, and coordination may be affected, and children with brain damage may have trouble with daily activities such as speaking, eating, swallowing, and walking. Robinson & Associates experienced attorneys can assist in preparing and litigating medical malpractice cases involving children with brain damage due to medical malpractice in Maryland and Washington D.C.

Broken bones are another birth injury suffered by newborns
that may occur as the result of medical malpractice. Some children
suffer broken collar bones or their upper arm may be fractured. For
many children, these injuries heal without any medical intervention and
with little or no discomfort. However, some children suffer serious
pain from these injuries and surgery may be required. These additional
and unexpected medical expenses can place a financial burden on the
parents. When injuries such as broken bones occur due to medical
malpractice, the doctor or nurse responsible for the injury may be held
liable for damages.
