One of the most common causes of Kumpke’s Palsy on newborns is the medical negligence of the practicing physician, nurse or midwife during the delivery process. All too often individuals assisting the birthing process fail to recognize the presence of shoulder dystocia (when the shoulders of the child become lodged behind the pubic bone of the pregnant mother). Some common danger signs associated with shoulder dystocia which the practicing physician should be aware of during the delivery process include, large size of the child, prolonged labor, overweight mother, advanced maternal age, and diabetes in the mother. Instead to taking preventative measure in dislodging the child the practicing doctor will pull on the head of the fetus resulting in the stretching of the shoulder neck and upper back regions resulting in damage to the surrounding nerves and spinal column.

In many hospitals will fail to inform parent of the injuries caused by the medical malpractice of the obstetrician.
