Signs of Birth Injuries

Signs of Birth Injuries May Indicate Severe Harm to Your Infant

Most birth injuries result from hospital negligence on the part of medical professionals. Complications can happen during pregnancy and labor. When overlooked or mistreated, your health care provider may be liable for injuries to your infant.

If your infant is showing signs of birth injuries, you need a skilled attorney at your side to fight relentlessly to recover damages. At the Law Offices of Jeff Martin, serving Tulsa and communities in Oklahoma, a birth injuries attorney with our firm can challenge the insurance company and hospital attorneys to pursue the full compensation you deserve.

One of our firm's lawyers may be able to help you recover payment for pain and suffering, compensation for medical expenses and other expenses related to your birth injury.

The following are signs that an infant may have sustained birth injuries:

  • Seizures that develop within 24 to 48 hours after birth
  • Persistent poor nursing
  • An infant that is "floppy" after five minutes
  • An APGAR score of 5 or less at five minutes; 7 or less at 10 minutes
  • Full-term baby who does not go home with his or her mother
  • Prolonged resuscitation of the baby after delivery
  • No infant cry before the child is 10 minutes old (unless the baby has a breathing tube in his or her throat)
