Common Birth Injuries In New Hampshire
While most births in New Hampshire hospitals go smoothly, errors can occur. Some frequent birth injuries we see include:
- Cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation
- Erb’s palsy due to shoulder dystocia
- Brain damage from delayed C-sections
- Fractures from improper use of delivery tools
These injuries often result from medical negligence during prenatal care, labor or delivery. Understanding the cause is crucial for building a strong case.
Steps To Take After A Birth Injury
If you suspect your child has suffered a birth injury, it’s important to act promptly. Here are the critical steps you should take:
- Seek immediate medical attention for your child
- Document all symptoms and medical visits
- Request copies of all medical records
- Avoid discussing fault with medical staff or insurance companies
- Contact an experienced birth injury lawyer
Time is critical in these cases. Evidence can disappear quickly and New Hampshire’s statute of limitations may affect your ability to file a claim.
