The Dangers and Impact of Birth Injuries
Birth injuries often result in permanent, life-altering challenges requiring ongoing care, therapy and specialized accommodations. The financial cost alone can be devastating, often reaching into the millions over a child’s lifetime. But the emotional toll is just as significant.
Many of these injuries are entirely preventable. Some of the most common causes include:
- Failure to perform a timely C-section
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors
- Lack of fetal monitoring or failure to recognize distress
- Delayed response to delivery complications
When these mistakes occur, families deserve answers and the opportunity to seek justice.
In Indiana, families generally have two years from the date of injury to file a birth injury lawsuit. Early legal guidance is essential to ensure your rights are protected and that evidence is preserved.
