The vast majority of deliveries result in healthy babies, however, when serious emergencies like shoulder dystocia occur, the consequences can be life-changing for both mother and child.
Shoulder dystocia is a birth complication that occurs when a baby's shoulder becomes lodged behind the mother's pelvis during delivery. When medical providers fail to recognize risk factors, properly prepare for delivery, or respond appropriately during an emergency, serious injuries can occur, including brachial plexus injuries, Erb's palsy, fractures, and oxygen deprivation.
Parents place their trust in healthcare professionals during one of life's most important moments. When that trust is broken by negligence, families deserve answers and accountability.
If your child suffered a birth injury related to shoulder dystocia, the experienced medical malpractice attorneys at Friedman Schuman Layser, PC can help you understand your legal rights and options.
