What Is Medical Malpractice?![A Gavel and Stethoscope Illustrating Medical Malpractice in New Mexico]()
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. This could be due to negligence, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, surgical errors, or other failures that compromise patient health and safety. Birth injuries are a subset of medical malpractice, affecting mothers and newborns during childbirth or pregnancy-related procedures.
Types of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can vary significantly in severity and may include:
1. Cerebral Palsy. A neurological condition caused by brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth, leading to impaired muscle coordination and movement.
2. Erb’s Palsy. A condition where damage to the brachial plexus nerves causes weakness or paralysis in the arm, typically due to excessive pulling during delivery.
3. Brachial Plexus Injuries. Damage to the network of nerves that send signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand is often caused by complications during childbirth.
4. Fractures. Bone fractures occur during delivery due to improper handling or delivery methods.
5. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). A brain injury resulting from insufficient oxygen supply to the brain during or shortly after birth leads to potential long-term developmental issues.
6. Other Injuries. These may include facial nerve damage, skull fractures, and other physical or neurological impairments that could have been avoided with proper medical care.
