The birth of a child is a precious moment and should never be taken lightly or seen as routine by any nurse, physician or other medical practitioner. Unfortunately, birth injuries still occur, even under the best of conditions.
Some of the most serious birth injuries include:
Estimates indicate that approximately 3-5 babies in 1,000 sustain some type of injured birth and many cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy cases are victims of medical malpractice during labor and delivery. In some cases, a lawsuit can be brought against the medical practitioner(s) involved, as well as the medical facility. The birth injury lawyers of Buxner Law Firm, located in St Louis, Missouri have successfully represented many victims of birth injury.
