A birth injury refers to any physical injury occurring to an infant during pregnancy or labor. There are many different types of birth injuries, including but not limited to:

• - skull fractures
• - brain swelling
• - facial nerve damage
• - injury to the brain from lack of oxygen
• - brain hemorrhages
• - brachial plexus palsy
• - cerebral palsy

Birth injuries do happen somewhat frequently. Although, due to advances in technology and medicine, they are much less likely to occur than before. As a result, birth injuries are often preventable and when a birth injury does occur it can usually be attributed to the negligence of a doctor or other medical professional.
