Medical mistakes during the labor and delivery process
are to blame for thousands of children with severe nerve damage
and other birth injuries. Unfortunately, many parents don't realize that their
healthcare provider might be to blame for their child's
neurological problems. If your child suffers from a neurological problem you may want to
determine if:
1. The fetal heart pattern of
the your infant was strong and a vaginal birth was in
both the child's and mother's best interest.
2. Was there a hyperstimulation
of the uterus and if so were the correct drugs
administered at the correct levels and were other drugs
including the use of oxytocin discontinued at the
correct time?
3. Were there abnormal pressure
readings and if so was an intrauterine pressure catheter
used?
4. Was this a diabetic
pregnancy and was there abnormal post glucola test?
If so, was it properly acted upon?
5. Was reasonable care taken to
avoid placing too much pressure on the fetus including
avoiding lateral traction on the head of the fetus at
the time of delivery? Were proper techniques such
as the McRobert's maneuver or the corkscrew maneuver
used, instead of simply applying supapubic pressure
during delivery?

Negligence Lawsuits
"Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy"
to muscle weakness/poor control. Cerebral palsy itself is
not progressive, but is a developmental problem that can
occur during fetal development, the birthing process, or
infancy. Once a child has cerebral palsy, the child will
not get worse over time, however, conditions such as muscle
spasticity can develop which may get better or worse over
time. Although cerebral palsy is not "curable", training and
therapy treatments can help improve function.
The term "cerebral palsy" refers to any one
of a number of neurological disorders that appear in infancy
or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and
muscle coordination. Even though cerebral palsy affects
muscle movement, it isn’t caused by problems in the muscles
or nerves. It is caused by abnormalities or damage in parts
of the brain that control muscle movements. The majority of
children with cerebral palsy are born with it, although it
may not be detected until months or years later. The early
signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before a child
reaches 3 years of age. The most common symptoms are a lack
of muscle coordination when performing voluntary movements
(ataxia); stiff or tight muscles and exaggerated reflexes (spasticity);
walking with one foot or leg dragging; walking on the toes,
a crouched gait, or a “scissored” gait; and muscle tone that
is either too stiff or too floppy. A small number of
children have cerebral palsy as the result of brain damage
in the first few months or years of life, brain infections
such as bacterial meningitis or viral encephalitis, or head
injury from a motor vehicle accident, a fall, or child
abuse.
Cerebral Palsy usually occurs during fetal
development, but can occur before, during, or shortly after
birth; or during infancy. The faulty development or damage
to motor areas in the brain disrupts the brain's ability to
adequately control movement and posture. Symptoms of
Cerebral Palsy can range in severity.
Medical mistakes during the labor and
delivery process are to blame for thousands of children with
Cerebral Palsy. Unfortunately, many parents don't realize
that their healthcare provider might be to blame for their
child's Cerebral Palsy. If your child suffers from Cerebral
Palsy and you believe it was caused by negligence, feel free

Negligence Lawsuit Information
The terms "erb's palsy" and
"brachial plexus paralysis" are names for a condition which
mainly due to birth trauma can affect 1 or all of the 5
primary nerves that supply the movement and feeling to an
arm. The paralysis can be partial or complete and cause mild
impairment to severe impairment. The neurological disorder
appears in infancy and severe cases are obvious because the
infant cannot control their hand or arm.
Military Brachial Plexus
Injury Lawyer, Military Medical Negligence Brachial Plexus
Lawyer, Military Medical Mistake Brachial Plexus Lawyer and
Military Malpractice Brachial Plexus Paralysis Attorney
Brachial Plexus Injuries occur when the brachial plexus, a
network of nerves between the neck and shoulder, is damaged.
Because the brachial plexus conducts nerve signals from the
spinal cord to the arm and hand, when it is damaged
impairment of the arm and hand can occur causing a limp arm.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves formed by fibers
located between the shoulder and the neck. Most brachial
plexus injuries happen during birth when excessive lateral
traction is applied to the fetal neck region during a
vaginal birth and a traumatic stretching of the brachial
plexus occurs causing damages to the nerves. Brachial plexus injuries
are more common in infants that are larger
than average in size as they have more trouble moving through
the birth canal.
Types of Brachial Plexus Injuries
There
are different types of brachial plexus injuries that range
in severity of impairment and limitations. Children
severe limitations have a limp arm that is not controllable.
These infants will be readily apparent at an early age as
they will not be able to control their arm and will have
trouble turning over and crawling. An avulsion where the nerve is torn
from the spine are the most severe cases. A bit
less severe is a rupture where the nerve is torn
but not where it attaches to the spine allowing some
nerve impulses. A neuroma occurs when the damaged nerve has tried
to heal but scar tissue has grown around the injury
placing pressure on the injured nerve praxis. While the
nerve has been damaged, it has not been torn and
improvement is possible.
Symptoms of Brachial
Plexus Injuries
Symptoms of Brachial Plexus Injuries are usually
obvious. A baby suffering from a Brachial Plexus Injury or Erb's
Palsy can be determined by the lack of ability to use the
affected arm. Infants with Erb's Palsy have no muscle control and no feeling in
the affected arm or hand. In less severe cases,
the child may have little control of shoulder and arm movements,
but may have some use of their hands. In more severe
cases the entire arm may be paralyzed with
the hand and fingers hanging limp. The infant may
also have facial paralysis on the affected side
as well as may not able to sit up without assistance
or be able to crawl without the
use of therapeutic devices.
Treatment for Erb's
Palsy
Treatment for Erb’s Palsy generally
consists of physical therapy to improve
functionality of joints and muscles. In some
cases, babies born with Erb’s Palsy will greatly benefit
from surgery and surgical
procedures can increase their arm functions. Since most
children with Erb’s Palsy have damage to multiple nerves of
the brachial plexus, more than one procedure may need to be preformed.

(VA Military Negligence Hypoxia Birth Injury Lawsuit and
VA Military Medical Mistake Lack of Oxygen During Birth
Lawsuit Information)
Several types of accidents and negligent
actions can cause an unborn child to suffer hypoxia
resulting in a brain injury during the birthing process
including a difficult labor, unreasonable delay in
performing a C-section, delay in delivering an extremely
large baby, gestational diabetes in the mother, failure to
properly and timely resuscitate the baby, maternal or fetal
bleeding complications, excessive administration of Pitocin,
and placenta previa. It is important during any birth to
have medical professionals that are able to protect the
safety of the mother and child by not allowing any of these
factors to become a problem. If problems arise and these
difficulties occur during the birth of your child and the
child sustains a brain injury, you may want to contact a
Military Medical Negligence Hypoxia Birth Injury Lawyer with the skill and dedication to
help you get the compensation.
Military Malpractice Medication Birth Defect Lawsuits
Several
medications, products, and drugs have been linked to birth
defects. Some of these medication and products have
ample warnings that warn pregnant women to avoid taking
these products while they are pregnant, however, some
doctors prescribe these drugs to pregnant women or fail to
warn patients of the dangers of the drugs that they
prescribe.
Some medications that have been linked to
birth defects include Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Antidepressants (SSRIs). Women that have taken SSRIs
after the 20th week of pregnancy have a 6-fold
increased risk of developing persistent pulmonary
hypertension, a life-threatening lung disorder.
Infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension have
abnormal blood flow through the heart and lungs and do not
get enough oxygen to their bodies and may become very sick
or die. For more information on Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitor Antidepressant Birth Defect Claims,

medical malpractice birth injury lawsuits, military malpractice birth defect
lawsuits,
and military malpractice infant suffocation (hypoxia)
lawsuits are
some of the most difficult military malpractice lawsuits
because of the emotional loss that the military family and
military parents have suffered. Military parents
and military families who
should be celebrating the life of their new child or young
child are often
caught off guard when their child is taken from them, born with severe
disabilities, or suffers significant injuries in a medical
mistake. After
discovery of a birth defect, the family is often busy
taking care of the child with the serious health problems or
after the death of their child the family is
grieving their loss,
and often does not have the time or energy to seek
answers from negligent parties that caused the
death, birth defect or birth injury.
