It is estimated that some 27 out of every 1000 births in the United States result in a birth injury. Common birth injuries include cerebral palsy, paralysis, brain damage, Erb's palsy, and brachial plexus injuries. Birth injuries cause untold pain and anguish to family members. Birth injuries can also impair a child for life, thereby making him or her dependent on others.
