The prospect of a newborn baby being injured during or after the birthing process is a frightening thing to contemplate. Often such injuries are unavoidable, but in many cases injuries are caused by doctor, nurse or hospital neglect. Unfortunately, more than 100,000 babies suffer injuries each year due to negligence.
Some common causes of birth injuries are: inadequate response to complications during the delivery, failure to correct apnea, procedures performed by unqualified staff, delay in performing a cesarean, use of excessive force, failure to identify fetal distress and improper handling.

Some birth injuries are immediately obvious, while others can take years to fully materialize. Injuries can range from mild to severe and their causes can often be unclear. Medical staff are often evasive when discussing the details of an injury and parents often feel uncomfortable pressing for answers.
