Understanding Birth Injuries and Their Impact
Birth injuries can have lifelong consequences. Conditions like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage often require extensive medical care and adaptive resources.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the lifetime cost of caring for a child with cerebral palsy can exceed $1 million Source.
Common Causes of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries may result from negligence during labor, delivery, or postnatal care. Common causes include:
- Delayed C-section decisions
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Failure to monitor fetal distress
- Medication errors during labor
A knowledgeable birth injury lawyer investigates these incidents, identifying medical malpractice and building a strong compensation case.
The Emotional and Financial Toll on Families
Coping with a birth injury goes beyond medical expenses. Families often face:
- Lost income from caregiving
- Extensive therapy costs
- Expenses for home modifications and adaptive equipment
- Emotional stress and mental health challenges
A 2019 study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealed that families caring for a child with severe disabilities spend three to four times more on healthcare annually than the average family Source.
“The financial strain on families affected by birth injuries is often underestimated,” says Dr. Amy Houtrow, Chief of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. “Early intervention and financial support are critical to improving outcomes.” Source
