Temporary birth injuries
Some birth injuries are temporary and can heal over time. These may include:
- Bone fractures
- Excessive facial bruising
- Severely bruised scalp
But even temporary injuries can have a permanent impact on your family. Moreover, they may be a sign of more significant damage under the surface. Some of those injuries may lead to lifelong changes to how that child grows and develops, including:
- Brain damage
- Facial paralysis
- Cerebral palsy
- Brachial plexus
- Erb's palsy
Depending on the nature of your child’s birth injury, he or she may need a lifetime of medical attention, including in-home care attendants. You may need to leave your job to devote yourself to caring for your child. The sheer impact of such an injury on your life can be completely overwhelming. We can help.
