San Francisco, CA medical malpractice attorney Nathaniel Leeds discusses some common errors leading to birth injuries. The most common error in birth injuries involves waiting too long before taking action. There is a readily available and safe method for delivering every child, which is a C-section. In cases of trouble or when signs of distress in the child become evident, a C-section should always be an option. In an ideal scenario, there should be no birth injuries in the country because doctors should promptly recognize the signs of distress in a child and opt for a C-section to save the child.
Regrettably, there is often a preference for vaginal delivery, both from parents and doctors. This preference can lead to situations where babies showing signs of distress are not delivered via C-section in a timely manner. Waiting too long in such cases results in oxygen deprivation for the baby, leading to the same type of brain injury typically associated with inadequate oxygen supply.
