Broken Bones – Common Kentucky Birth Injuries Your Newborn Shouldn’t Have to Suffer
New parents often put their trust in a doctor delivering their newborn baby, but what if the baby is born with a broken bone or another type of birth injury? Parents often do not realize what took place because they are vulnerable while trying to get accustomed to their new baby and thinking about raising a new life.With the exception of crying, a baby cannot tell his or her parent or doctor that something is wrong. Sadly, crying is often related to fussy, colicky babies and not injured infants. Although there are some signs that doctors and nurses should look for, sometimes these birth injuries in Kentucky can go unnoticed.
If an infant suffered a broken bone at birth, the baby will often cry, look uncomfortable, hold the affected area, and won't move much. The injured area will often be:
- Bruised
- Out of place
- Tender to the touch
When a newborn suffers a broken bone at birth, the doctor and his team are most likely at fault. If too much force was used in the delivery room to get the baby out of the birth canal, medical negligence could be to blame. Although complications do arise in the labor and delivery room, doctors are trained to know that a baby is extremely soft, delicate, and fragile, including their bones, and could be easily hurt if they use too much force during a vaginal delivery.
Broken arms, collar bones, legs, feet, wrists, hip, and back could be injured at birth. Sometimes this type of Northern Kentucky birth injury heals on its own, as the baby will hold the broken bone still. Other times, broken bones can cause injuries to the nerves, and a baby will need medical intervention in order to heal correctly.
If your infant was sent home from the hospital with broken bones or was born with any type of birth injury in Kentucky, you need to speak with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer in Northern Kentucky today.
Your infant's birth injury caused by medical negligence should be made right. Your family deserves compensation for the injury, pain and suffering, costly medical bills, and more.
