What Causes Birth Injuries?
Improper use of birthing tools like forceps or vacuum extractors can cause head and neck injuries resulting in brain or brachial plexus damage.
Improper fetal monitoring can also cause injuries like cerebral palsy that could have been avoided with proper monitoring.
Forcing a vaginal delivery can be dangerous when the baby is too large to fit through the birth canal and a C-section would have been safer.

Costs of Birth Injuries
Having children is expensive even when they’re healthy. But children with birth injuries and their parents face a lifetime of expensive medical treatments, therapy, and rehabilitation.
In some cases, the child might need a wheelchair, and your home will need expensive remodeling. Or the child might require an expensive, special needs school.
On top of all the costs kids with birth injuries incur, it’s likely one parent will need to stay home and care for the child, decreasing the family’s income when you need it most.
