Impacted babies and their families can face a lifetime of personal care needs, along with pain and costly medical expenses.

Health care professionals are responsible for monitoring and guarding the well-being of babies when they are under their care. They also need to provide treatment, when necessary, that meets accepted standards of care.
Causes of birth injuries may include:
- Failure to monitor or respond to fetal distress during pregnancy, labor or delivery
- Failure to have emergency protocols in place in the event that a C-section is required to rescue a fetus in distress
- Faulty handling of a baby whose shoulders have become lodged in the mother's pelvis during delivery
- Misdiagnosis of risk factors indicated during the prenatal period
- Overmedication or medication errors before or during labor
