Several types of birth injuries exist: brain injuries, nerve injuries and physical injuries. Brain damage due to lack of oxygen is the most commonly occurring birth injury. While in some cases, birth injuries are temporary, in other situations, they are permanent. Birth injury symptoms can be mild in some infants and severe in others.<\/p>\n<p>Certain factors make birth injuries more likely. Babies with high birth weight, those born prematurely and those born to your mothers are more likely to experience injury. In fact, mothers between the ages of 15 and 17 are at the highest risk for birth injuries. However, slightly older women, aged 25 to 34 are at highest risk for injuries caused by assistive delivery tools.<\/p>\n<p>A birth injury occurs in roughly seven of every 1,000 babies born in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most often, birth injuries happen in rural areas. Annually, approximately 28,000 newborns are born with a birth injury. This translates into 2,333 monthly, 538 weekly and 76 daily.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/birth-injuries.svg\" alt=\"Birth Injury Statistics\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"560\" width=\"785\" title=\"birth-injuries\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<p>The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) estimates that 20 to 40 percent of labor is induced, which can be the precursor to a difficult delivery. Nearly 50 percent of all birth injuries can possibly be avoided by recognizing obstetrical risk factors and planning for them.<\/p>\n<h6>\n\t\t<a href=\"\/yue\/practice-areas\/\" title=\"Practice Areas\"  target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\tPractice Areas\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul id=\"menu-services-core\"><li id=\"menu-item-562\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/\">Personal Injury<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-565\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/\">Car Accidents<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-8072\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/vehicle-accidents\/truck-accidents\/\">Truck Accidents<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-12082\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/personal-injury\/premises-liability\/slip-and-falls\/\">Slip and Fall<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-563\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/birth-injuries\/\">Birth Injuries<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-564\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myphillylawyer.com\/yue\/practice-areas\/workplace-injuries\/\">Workplace Injuries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\n\t<h4>\n\t\t\tNO RECOVERY, NO FEE.
