Shoulder Dystocia Legal Representation: Fighting for Justice
Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury that happens when one or both of a baby’s shoulders get stuck inside the mother’s birth canal during labor or birth. In most cases of shoulder dystocia, babies are born safely. However, this can cause severe problems for both newborns and mothers.
In the following video, Founding Partner Stephan D. Blandin discusses birth injuries and Romanucci & Blandin's experience with birth injury cases:
Types of injuries due to shoulder dystocia
Some of the injuries that newborns can sustain from shoulder dystocia such as:

- Infant death
There are many instances where shoulder dystocia can be prevented if medical professionals notice the warning signs. If shoulder dystocia occurs, the medical staff needs to dislodge the baby’s shoulder safely and safely. There are some risk factors that can cause shoulder dystocia, and the physician should be aware of them.
