When we hear the term “birth injury,” most of us think of an injured baby. That is often not the case. Mothers face many different types of injuries during labor and delivery, such as:
Vaginal tears Hemorrhaging Nerve damage Broken bones A prolapsed or ruptured uterus Post-natal depression Post-natal traumatic stress disorder
Some injuries are highly treatable, while others may require surgery and ongoing treatment. If you were injured while giving birth, you may choose to pursue an Akron birth injury claim to recover compensation for your losses.
