Waco Cephalohematoma Lawyer
The process of giving birth is intensely demanding – both physically and mentally. During delivery both the mother and the newborn child are incredibly vulnerable, so it is critical that all doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals involved with the delivery are mindful of any potential health threats. Failure to adequately monitor conditions and vital signs can result in preventable birth injuries that may dramatically impact the health and development of your son or daughter. Cephalohematoma is one such injury, and it is almost exclusively caused by malpractice in the delivery room or during labor care.

Causes and Effects of Cephalohematoma
Cephalohematoma is a pooling of blood underneath the scalp of a newborn, and it is typically caused by blunt trauma sustained during the delivery. The risks are elevated by the application of forceps or vacuum assisted delivery, and also by a lengthy or challenging labor.
Complications of cephalohematoma may include, but are not limited to:
- Anemia
- Life-threatening infections
- Aggravated fractures of the skull
- Jaundice
The medical care that these conditions require can easily cost thousands of dollars and may have lasting implications for your child’s health. You should not have to bear those expenses on your own.
