What birth injuries are linked to malpractice?
Malpractice can be the cause of most types of birth injuries. The majority of injuries linked to malpractice, however, are hypoxia, cerebral palsy, and erb’s palsy. This is not to say that other injuries are not tied to malpractice but rather, that these are the main categories. Sometimes, failing to notice the state of the fetus is the cause, as in not recognizing fetal distress during labor.
