Possible causes for a birth injury include:

  • Prolonged or difficult labor
  • Failure to detect an umbilical cord wrapped around the infant’s neck
  • Failure to quickly perform emergency C-section
  • Failure to test and treat pregnancy-related conditions
  • Misdiagnosis of pregnancy-related conditions
