Need representation for Medical Negligence?
Birth injuries like anoxia and HIE often occur when healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care during prenatal, labor, or postnatal treatment. Examples of medical negligence may include:
These preventable errors can have life-altering consequences for the baby and the family. Seeking legal recourse may help uncover the truth and secure financial support for ongoing medical care, therapy, and other needs.
Birth trauma, anoxia, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are devastating conditions that can often be prevented with proper medical care. When a baby is born with little to no oxygen due to medical negligence, it can result in severe brain damage or other complications. Holding healthcare providers accountable is crucial in seeking justice for your child and ensuring that your family receives the support and resources needed to navigate this difficult journey.
Birth Injury Anoxia:
Anoxia occurs when a baby is deprived of oxygen for an extended period during labor or delivery. This severe oxygen deprivation can cause damage to vital organs, including the brain, potentially leading to long-term disabilities and complications.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE):
HIE is a specific condition caused by reduced oxygen and blood flow to the brain around the time of birth. Without adequate oxygen and nutrients, the brain sustains damage that can vary in severity. Outcomes may include developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, motor impairments, and seizures, depending on the extent of the injury.
In addition to anoxia and HIE, other preventable birth injuries include:
- Shoulder Dystocia: Complications during delivery that can lead to nerve damage or paralysis.
- Nerve Impingement: Damage caused by improper delivery techniques.
- Other Birth Trauma: Injuries related to improper monitoring, delayed interventions, or failure to follow acceptable standards of care.
