The birth of a child should be one of the most joyous moments in life. But when medical negligence leads to a birth injury, that happiness can quickly turn into worry, stress, and uncertainty. Birth injuries can have lifelong effects on a child and place significant emotional and financial strain on families.

At Stipe Law Firm in McAlester, OK, we are dedicated to helping families affected by birth injuries pursue justice and secure the compensation they need to care for their child.

What Is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury occurs when a newborn suffers harm during labor or delivery due to medical negligence. These injuries can range from minor complications to severe, life-altering conditions. Common types of birth injuries include:

• Cerebral Palsy – Often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.
• Brachial Plexus Injuries – Nerve damage resulting in weakness or paralysis of the arm.
• Fractures – Broken bones caused by improper handling during delivery.
• Brain Damage – Resulting from hypoxia or other preventable complications.
• Erb’s Palsy – Nerve injury commonly linked to difficult deliveries or excessive force.

Birth injuries can result from mismanaged labor, improper use of delivery tools, delayed medical intervention, or failure to monitor fetal distress.
