These injuries often result from medical negligence or improper care during these critical periods. Research from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) indicates that approximately 7 out of every 1,000 births in the United States involve some form of birth injury.

Medical negligence during childbirth can have severe consequences, leading to several serious conditions that may affect a child's development and quality of life.

One of the most significant conditions is cerebral palsy, which occurs when the brain experiences oxygen deprivation during delivery. This condition fundamentally impacts a child's movement and muscle coordination abilities.

Another critical condition that can arise from medical negligence is Erb's palsy, along with related brachial plexus injuries. These conditions specifically affect the intricate network of nerves responsible for controlling arm and hand movements. These injuries typically occur in situations where healthcare providers apply excessive force during difficult deliveries, potentially causing permanent damage to the infant's nerve network.

This serious complication occurs when a baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery, potentially leading to nerve damage or oxygen deprivation.
