Shoulder Dystocia
At The Albenze Firm, we understand the devastating impact a birth injury can have on a family. If your child suffered a shoulder dystocia during delivery in Ohio, you deserve answers and compensation. Shoulder dystocia, where one baby’s arm or shoulder pushes against the head of another baby during delivery, can lead to serious complications for both mother and child. We are dedicated to providing compassionate and experienced legal representation to families throughout Ohio who have been injured due to medical negligence.
Understanding Shoulder Dystocia
Shoulder dystocia isn’t simply a difficult delivery. It’s a medical complication that, if not properly identified and addressed, can result in severe damage. Common complications stemming from shoulder dystocia include:
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: Damage to the nerves in the baby’s upper arm, leading to Erb’s Palsy.
- Fractures: Clavicle (collarbone) fractures or humerus (upper arm) fractures.
- Nerve Damage: Damage to nerves that impact movement and sensation.
- Neurodevelopmental Issues: Potential long-term effects on brain development and function.
- Mother’s Injuries: Increased risk of vaginal tears, pelvic fractures, and postpartum complications.
