Birth Injury Statistics
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, in the United States:
Nearly 157,700 avoidable injuries to mothers and newborns occurred during childbirth in a single year.
Newborn males (1.7 per 1000) are slightly more likely to experience a birth injury than females (1.5 per 1000).
For women ages 25 to 34, 19% of vaginal deliveries with instruments experienced trauma.
The Northeast United States has significantly higher birth injury rates (24-32% higher) than those in the West, Midwest, and South.
The Northeast United States also has the highest rates of obstetrical trauma to mothers during vaginal delivery with instruments.
Preventable Birth Injuries Cause A Lifetime
of Heartache and Financial Stress
As a parent, you will stop at nothing to protect your child. That’s why there are few situations more devastating than a birth injury suffered by your newborn during the prenatal period or during labor and delivery, especially one that could have been prevented. If you’re facing this situation, consult a Philadelphia birth injury lawyer for assistance.
Preventable injuries and conditions resulting from negligence at birth may include cerebral palsy, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, brachial plexus palsy (Erb’s palsy), spinal cord injuries, bone fractures, or even death.
These injuries to your baby can turn what should be the happiest moment of your life into a tragic moment filled with sadness, despair, and confusion with many unanswered questions. And the effects of a birth injury often last for a lifetime, setting the child up for years of around-the-clock care and never-ending medical bills.
