A birth injury is any type of harm or injury that a child suffers right before, during, or after they are born — typically during the labor and delivery process.
Birth injuries are often the result of preventable medical errors caused by a health care professional. This is known as medical malpractice.
Shoulder dystocia (when one or both of the baby’s shoulders get stuck in the mother’s pelvis during delivery)
Skull fractures or bone fractures
Spinal cord injuries
Stillbirths and death
Umbilical cord strangulation
While some birth injuries may heal completely, others may call for lifelong medical care.
If you believe your child’s birth injury was caused by medical malpractice, a Rhode Island birth injury lawyer may be able to help you hold negligent health care providers accountable for the harm they caused.
“My baby had to stay in the NICU. Now, she is almost 3 and isn’t developing like other kids. Sokolove Law helped us fight for justice and get the money we needed to give our child special care and treatments. I can’t thank Sokolove Law enough." – Mother in Massachusetts & Firm Client
How Does Malpractice Cause Birth Injuries?
Birth injuries can often be avoided with proper medical care — but if a medical professional makes a careless mistake during the birthing process, the baby and their family suffer as a result.
Common medical mistakes that may lead to birth injuries include:
Excessive force during delivery
Failure to properly assess risk factors beforehand
Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
Misdiagnosis or failure to recognize a serious medical condition
Sokolove Law has nurses on staff who can help you understand your child’s injury and if malpractice or negligence may be to blame.

If a settlement is unable to be reached, our birth injury lawyers are prepared to present your case in a trial and fight for a verdict on your behalf.
