Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they are typically preventable and occur due to complications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. These injuries can range from mild to severe and may have long-term consequences for both the child and family.

• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
• Shoulder Dystocia
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Facial Paralysis
• Fractures

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 7 in 1,000 births in the United States involve birth injuries. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) reports that birth injuries account for significant healthcare costs and extended hospital stays.
