Did Your Baby Suffer an Injury Caused By Umbilical Cord Entrapment?

Serious nuchal cord injury may occur when an umbilical cord wraps around the baby’s neck during the delivery process. This issue can reduce oxygen delivery and blood flow to the infant’s brain, heart, and other organs, causing significant damage. Umbilical cord entrapment may occur in any birth, but it is more common in breech births, in which the baby’s legs are delivered before the head.

Because umbilical cord entrapment and related conditions such as prolapsed umbilical cords result in oxygen deprivation, it is an emergency situation that calls for prompt medical attention. If doctors and nurses fail to observe or respond to umbilical cord entrapment, the baby may suffer serious brain damage or other harm. At the Houston law firm of Hampton & King, our Texas birth injury lawyers represent individuals whose infants have been harmed by medical negligence, including the failure to observe or respond to umbilical cord entrapment.

Hartley Hampton is board certified in personal injury litigation by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He knows how to handle complex and challenging birth injury cases.
