Shoulder Dystocia Lawyers Review Cases Nationwide

Shoulder dystocia occurs during birth when the baby’s shoulder becomes stuck on the mother’s pubic bone.  As a result, the child could suffer an injury to their shoulder or to the brain, potentially resulting in a life-long disability.

Recognized medical precautions can be taken to prevent or minimize the risk of shoulder dystocia during delivery. In addition, when a baby becomes stuck in the birth canal and lodged against the pubic bone, prompt actions must be taken to remove the baby as soon as possible.

SHOULDER DYSTOCIA CEREBRAL PALSY LAWSUIT

If a baby becomes stuck in the birth canal, they will often be unable to breath resulting in oxygen being deprived to the brain.  This could result in permanent brain damage, which is a potential cause of Cerebral Palsy. Children diagnosed with cerebral palsy can experience difficulty with motor control and muscle coordination, which could impact their ability to walk, talk and move independently.
