Newborn Facial Birth Injury
Forceps misuse. Vacuum extraction errors. Improper delivery. These are only a few scenarios associated with a newborn facial birth injury involving medical malpractice negligence. Such injuries include facial paralysis, nasal septum damage, lacerations, and even broken bones.1 And while in many cases newborn facial birth injuries improve over time, in others they result in devastating long-term physical and emotional problems that affect infants and family members alike. In the latter situation, parents who have provable medical malpractice negligence cases often seek legal help.
