Common Types Of Birth Injuries In San Antonio, Texas

Birth injuries can vary in severity and impact. Our team is experienced in handling a wide range of birth injury cases, including:

• Cerebral palsy: A condition affecting movement and muscle coordination, usually from becoming oxygen deprived
• Erb’s palsy: Nerve damage in the shoulder that affects arm movement, often from forceful actions during birth
• Fractures: Broken bones from aggressive maneuvers
• Brain damage: Injuries to the brain resulting from lack of oxygen or trauma
• Facial paralysis: Loss of voluntary muscle movement in the face due to pressure
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE): Brain dysfunction caused by a lack of oxygen or blood flow

It only takes a minimal amount of pressure or strain on the infant’s body to cause irreparable damage. When a doctor fails to properly protect your newborn, they need to be held accountable for their actions.
