During childbirth injuries may occur that can severely hinder not only the child but also the families involved. The child's development and their health may be impacted in the long run, and complications can occur later. The Licatesi Law Group is aware of the seriousness of these situations involving birth injuries and is dedicated to assisting families in pursuing remedies.

There are various contributions to birth injuries which may include nerve damage, pulling complications during delivery injuring the arm, and brain damage that can occur before, during, or after delivery. All these factors may cause injuries like paralysis, nerve damage, arm damage, or decreased muscle and physical mobility. Other conditions such as the swelling of the baby’s head due to pressure causing bleeding of the skull can also occur. This bleeding in the infant's brain can cause a hemorrhage resulting in future complications for the child.

Families due to birth injuries may experience emotional or psychological suffering inclusive of depression or stress. Financial burden is also common with many families considering medical treatment, therapy, and fees for necessities to meet their child's needs. When determining liability in birth injuries cases a complex examination is done to identify any negligence or misconduct that may have occurred. Some parties that may be responsible for the injury are the gynecologists, nurses, hospitals, or staff. Additionally, the equipment used if flawed can lead to the manufacturer of said equipment being held liable under product liability.
