Birth Injuries FAQ's
Some birth injuries are lifelong disabilities that will put very heavy financial pressure on the parents for adequate care and treatment throughout childhood and beyond. Among the conditions lawyer Tony Zirkle can investigate and present for compensation include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Erb's palsy
- Birth trauma or fetal distress
- Cephalohematoma
- Brachial plexus or shoulder dystocia
- Infections such as Group B strep
- Gestational diabetes
The causes of different birth injuries can reflect different mistakes on the part of the delivery team. Some problems result from the failure of the obstetrician to order a c-section, especially in cases when the mother had delivered previously by a caesarian. Others result from poor monitoring of the vital signs of the mother, the fetus, or both. When blood oxygen levels are dangerously low for any length of time, severe and permanent brain damage can result. Still other birth injuries are caused by unskilled use of instruments such as forceps, especially on the head of the fetus.
Birth injury lawsuits are covered under the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act, which imposes several procedural requirements on negligence cases against physicians and other hospital personnel.
