What is a birth injury?

A birth injury refers to harm caused to a baby or mother during pregnancy or birth  due to substandard medical care. These injuries can vary in severity, from temporary conditions to long-term disabilities, often resulting from errors made by healthcare providers during pregnancy, labour, or delivery.

Birth injuries can include conditions such as cerebral palsy, which may occur due to a lack of oxygen during delivery, leading to developmental and physical challenges. Erb’s palsy, caused by damage to the nerves in the baby’s shoulder during a difficult delivery, can affect arm movement and strength. Some babies suffer from broken bones or fractures during birth, while others may experience long-term complications due to delayed or inadequate treatment. Additionally, mothers may suffer significant injuries, including severe tearing, internal damage, or infections due to inadequate care.

If you believe that medical negligence contributed to the injury of your child or yourself, it is important to take legal action. Our experienced team of solicitors in Manchester will work with medical experts to evaluate your case and determine whether the standard of care provided fell below acceptable levels.
