What Is a Birth Injury Lawsuit?

A birth injury lawsuit is a legal action taken by the family of a newborn who has suffered harm before, during, or shortly after delivery. This type of lawsuit asserts that the injury was a result of medical negligence, meaning that the healthcare professionals involved failed to adhere to a recognized standard of medical care. The "standard of care" is a legal concept that refers to the degree of caution and attention a skilled and competent healthcare professional, with a similar background, would reasonably provide under similar circumstances.

In the context of birth injuries, this standard of care is crucial because it sets the benchmark against which the actions of healthcare providers are judged. Whether it involves monitoring fetal heart rates, deciding when a cesarean section is warranted, or correctly using birth-assisting tools, every step in the management of labor and delivery is subject to established medical protocols. Deviation from these protocols may be considered negligence if it directly results in harm.
