Birth injuries occur primarily due to: (1) risk factors that can exacerbate complications, and (2) medical negligence.
Risk factors are things that increase the likelihood of injury. These may be outside of anyone’s control, but should they be present, careful monitoring and observation should be conducted. This is to ensure that mothers and children are not subjected to more risks, and should any injuries occur, they can be addressed promptly.
The following risk factors should be taken into account:
Doctors must exercise the best judgment in assessing risk factors and symptoms, not every seemingly negative sign is a cause for deep concern. There are cases where benign issues, such as infant shudder syndrome, can manifest. It is also important not to jump the gun, lest a false positive diagnosis be made, which can also lead to more harm.
Doctors must act with the expected standard of professional care in dealing with patients, especially during childbirth, where mistakes could result in severe damage to the vulnerable mother and child. Medical negligence happens when doctors fail to act with this expected standard of care, resulting in harm.
Common types of medical negligence that result in birth injuries can include the following:
