Internal Birth Injuries
Internal injuries can be some of the most difficult injuries to recognize and diagnose because they are often unnoticed at the time of birth. However, if these injuries go untreated they can cause your son or daughter lasting damage. Often, these internal birth injuries are caused by the negligent actions of a doctor or nurse during the labor and delivery process.

The Philadelphia birth injury attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., are passionately committed to holding negligent doctors accountable for the harm that they have caused to the children of our clients.

Internal Birth Injuries and Medical Negligence
There are many ways that a medical professional can act in a negligent way and cause internal injuries in your newborn child. Some medical practices and mistakes that may be more likely to result in internal birth injuries include:
- Forceps assisted delivery
- Vacuum assisted delivery
- Induced labor
- Failure to adequately recognize and treat healthy issues prenatally
- Inadequate responses to emergency situations during labor
If your delivery has involved any of these risk factors, your child may be at greater risk of being born with internal birth injuries. If this injury was caused by the negligence of your doctor, you may be able to obtain financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other pertinent damages.
