Some of the most common birth injuries occur when the baby is somehow delayed in being delivered, and their oxygen flow is compromised. That can cause all kinds of problems with respect to the baby’s development, both physically and mentally. The baby can suffer physical injuries to the muscles or bones from the birthing process if the doctor took inappropriate action. It is also possible for the child to be hurt by a tool during the C-section process. The negligence could also stem from the timing of the birth – either because the doctor did not recognize that the birth needs to happen immediately or they needlessly delay intervention.
