childbirth Injuries

Childbirth injuries refer to physical harm inflicted on the mother or baby during labor or delivery due to medical negligence. This can happen if healthcare providers fail to monitor vital signs, misuse delivery tools, or do not manage complications properly. Common injuries include fractures, nerve damage, or brain injuries in the baby, and physical trauma or infection in the mother. In the context of medical malpractice law, these injuries may lead to legal claims if it can be proven that the healthcare provider acted unreasonably or failed to adhere to accepted medical standards, resulting in harm.
