When Your Child Suffers Seizures Resulting from a Kentucky Birth Brain Injury

Giving birth to a child should be one of the most wonderful experiences of your life. Unfortunately, for many parents, it can become a nightmare. What happens when a birth injury leads to seizures in your newborn?

What are seizures?
Seizures, which are caused when the brain's nerve cells are damaged and fire faster than normal, can lead to your newborn experiencing involuntary movements and/or changes in consciousness or behavior.

Your newborn may suffer from seizures if he or she experiences brain trauma during labor. In many instances, complications arise during delivery, which can lead to your newborn becoming deprived of oxygen. This lack of oxygen can result in brain damage and ultimately seizures.

Medical mistakes can lead to a birth brain injury
In many cases, a brain injury can be the result of a medical mistake made by the delivering doctor or the medical team. Common examples of negligence include failure to:

 

• Diagnose and properly treat an infection in the mother
• Take into account a large baby
• Provide proper prenatal care
• Provide proper interventions during the labor and delivery process
• Properly respond to bleeding
• Provide proper management during the labor and delivery process
