Brain injury is all too common while the baby is still in the womb of the mother(in vitro) or during delivery.
Brain injury can be caused by lack of oxygen such as when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck, the baby gets stuck under the mother's pubic bone, or a cesarean section is delayed for hours while vaginal birth is attempted.
Other causes of brain injury are maternal infection, genetic malformation, premature birth, blood disease, and jaundice.
In some cases, brain injury could have been avoided but for the doctor's negligent action or inaction.
In other words, the negligent doctor did not follow standard medical protocol for his or her medical specialty and an injury results.
