Birth Injuries in Kentucky Hospitals

Our firm has seen a recent increase in reports on birth injuries occurring at Kentucky hospitals.  Many birth injuries result in serious injuries to the baby such as cerebral palsy, brain damage and often death. Most mistakes involving errors that occur between the communication of nurses and doctors. During labor and deliver of a newborn baby vital information is exchanged between the nurses and doctors performing the delivery of the infant. If a breakdown occurs and information is not communicated or miscommunicated serious injuries can occur. A recent study the the Joint Commission Hospital Accreditation found that most injuries to newborns are the result of communication errors.
