Fayetteville Shoulder Dystocia Lawyer

Fayetteville Shoulder Dystocia Attorney

Birth Injuries and Shoulder Dystocia

When an infant’s shoulder gets caught on the mother’s pelvic bone during delivery, long-term nerve damage and fractures can occur as a result. Given screening procedures and the availability of prenatal care and technology, most cases of shoulder dystocia can be avoided. Because shoulder dystocia is preventable, physicians can be held liable for failing to identify it prior to birth.

In cases where shoulder dystocia occurs due to factors present at birth, failure to employ certain techniques for dealing with the problem can result in injury to both the baby and the mother. At the Law Offices of Wade E. Byrd P.A., our birth injury attorneys and on-staff OB-GYN nurse collect evidence, review medical procedures and consult medical records to identify physician negligence.
