Cephalohematoma

Baltimore Cephalohematoma Injury Attorney

Cephalohematoma is a concerning and dangerous medical condition that usually occurs during the delivery or birth of a newborn child. Commonly associated with the improper use of obstetrical tools during delivery, a cephalohematoma is an abnormal collection of blood that develops and collects underneath the skin, on the external surface of a baby’s skull bone.

 If your child suffered from a cephalohematoma as a result of the negligence of a doctor or nurse, there is no time to waste in enlisting the help of the experienced Baltimore cephalohematoma injury attorneys of Brown & Barron, as we will do everything possible to fight against this injustice.

What Is Cephalohematoma?

The improper or excessive use of obstetrical forceps is believed to increase the likelihood of a cephalohematoma, as this may result in trauma or injury to a baby’s head. Cephalohematoma is a preventable medical condition that can result in a serious and traumatic brain injury such as cerebral palsy, leading to severe and lifelong developmental delays and gross motor skill deficiencies.

Common indications of cephalohematoma include: 

  • Anemia: A condition where you do not produce enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen throughout the body. This condition can cause someone to feel tired and weak. Other symptoms include pale or yellowish skin, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and headaches. 
  • Infection: Sepsis, meningitis, and E. coli are common infections associated with cephalohematomas. 
  • Jaundice: This condition occurs if a baby’s blood contains an excess amount of bilirubin, a yellow pigment made when red blood cells break down. Usually, the baby’s skin and eyes will appear yellowish. Jaundice commonly occurs in babies born before 38 weeks because their liver is not yet mature enough to get rid of the bilirubin in the bloodstream. 
  • Unnatural bulges on the child’s head: Medical professionals must monitor any bumps on the head that appear abnormal after birth.

Expenses Associated With Cephalohematoma

The costs associated with treating cephalohematoma vary based on the severity of the injury. If you have experienced mounting bills because of your child’s cephalohematoma, our attorneys can help. We will hold the doctors and nurses responsible for the injuries accountable. 

You could recover damages for some of the expenses you paid. Recoverable damages are the amount of money a court requires someone to pay for injuring someone else. For example, if your child sustained a cephalohematoma injury because of the mistake or negligence of a medical professional, you could include the following damages in your claim: 

  • Medical bills: The child may need expensive lifesaving medical procedures performed if they have severe complications. Other medical bills include hospital stays, follow-up doctor’s appointments, medications, and diagnostic tests such as MRIs or x-rays.
  • Rehabilitative care: If the injury is severe enough, your child might need rehabilitative therapies in the future. This could include speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. 
  • Assistive devices: Severe cephalohematomas could require assistive devices for your child to perform day-to-day activities. These include any mobility devices or assistive communication systems.

A Baltimore cephalohematoma injury attorney at Brown & Barron can calculate the value of damages you could recover with your claim.
