In cases involving medical malpractice, birth injuries are most often caused by the doctors negligence during the birthing process. For instance, while forceps can help save a childs life, if used improperly by the doctor or medical staff, they can lead to cerebral palsy or another serious birth injury. Additionally, if a doctor fails to order a timely c-section or neglects to monitor and respond to fetal distress, the child could be injured at birth.

Under Atlanta birth injury law, medical professionals and facilities are required to provide their patients with a certain level of care. Should they fail to meet this standard, and a child is injured as a result, they may be liable for their actions or lack thereof.
