The birth of a child should be one of life’s most joyful moments. But when a newborn suffers an injury during delivery, that happiness can quickly turn to distress and confusion.

An experienced Oshawa birth injury lawyer can offer the guidance and support you need. Gluckstein Lawyers has extensive experience in birth injury litigation and is committed to helping families navigate this difficult time with compassion and legal expertise.

What Constitutes a Birth Injury?

A birth injury is any form of harm that a baby suffers before, during, or immediately following birth. While some injuries are unavoidable complications, many are preventable and occur due to medical negligence or mistakes made by healthcare professionals. 

Common causes of preventable birth injuries include:

• Delayed C-sections during a complicated labour
• Failure to respond appropriately to signs of fetal distress
• Oxygen deprivation (asphyxia) to the baby's brain
• Incorrect use of delivery instruments like forceps or a vacuum extractor
• Mismanagement of a difficult delivery

These errors can lead to life-altering conditions, including Cerebral Palsy, Erb's palsy, brachial plexus injuries, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Such conditions often require long-term specialized care, therapy, and significant financial resources.
