Brain Injury

When expectant mothers have natural births, the first part that will enter the birth canal is the infant's head and neck.  The only exception is when the infant is breach.  The head will often rest in the birth canal for a long period of time and will experience a great deal of pressure throughout the delivery.  In some cases, infants' heads will naturally sustain scalpel bruising or even minor swelling.  Over the course of a few days, these birthing side effects will dissipate. 

Other times, infants may sustain serious brain injuries.  These injuries may result naturally or from medical professional negligence.  For example, an OBGYN may misuse a forceps while delivering an infant, which may lead to the infant sustaining a debilitating brain injury.  When medical professionals are negligent while delivering infants, infants may incur:

Fractures - bones from head fractures may penetrate the brain and result in a brain injury.
Hemorrhaging - pressure on the brain may lead to blood clots or persistent bleeding around the brain.  This may lead to reduced oxygen flow to the brain, which is known as hypoxia.
Nerve Damage - when infants have brain injuries, they may also incur nerve damage which can lead to paralysis, loss of coordination and bodily dysfunctions.

As you can see, the after effects of a brain injury can be quite serious and present ongoing complications for both the infant and his or her parents.  For this reason, when parents have reason to believe that their children sustained birth injuries due to medical professionals' negligence, they should consider speaking with an experienced birth injury lawyer. The attorneys at Wallin & Sauer know that brain injuries can be quite devastating for infants and their parents, which is why he aims to help clients recover maximum compensation after their children have been severely injury during the birthing process.
