The doctor may incorrectly use birth assisting technologies such as vacuum methods or forceps when delivering a child. This can result in permanent damage to a child. It’s also possible a doctor fails to correctly monitor a birth for signs that the child is in trouble. If the doctor does not administer the care a child needs, the child could suffer an injury resulting in permanent damage and even death.

There are many ways a child or a mother can be injured during childbirth. A medical malpractice claim may help an injured child and their family get the help they need for their recovery.
