Our Medical Malpractice Firm Can Help with Many Types of Obstetric Negligence
Obstetric care involves various areas of pregnancy, including gestation, labor, delivery, and immediate post-delivery care. In each of these stages, women rely on their obstetrician to provide them accurate advice and guidance toward the goal of a successful birth. When a physician fails to meet a professional duty of care for the patient, he or she may be found negligent and liable for any resulting injuries.
Some common obstetric negligence errors include:
- Fetus brain damage
- Born with birth damage
- Improper advice regarding infertility
- Failure to conduct regular testing during pregnancy
- Wrongly administered medication during pregnancy
- Failure to diagnose a dangerous condition during pregnancy
- Failure to properly treat pregnancy-related complications
- Improper pain management during labor and delivery
- Utilizing improper delivery techniques
- Failure to timely perform a cesarean section
Trustworthy Representation by Renowned Medical Malpractice Law Firm Located in Baltimore and Washington D.C.
Obstetrical negligence can have serious consequences for women and babies. Life-threatening illnesses can go untreated without proper diagnosis, and could possibly result in the death of mother and child. This is why expert representation by a Washington DC and Baltimore birth injury lawyer is imperative. Even if a condition is diagnosed correctly, improper treatment decisions may worsen the underlying problem, also placing the patients’ lives at risk. Other possible consequences of obstetric negligence include:
- Brain damage. Failure to timely perform a cesarean section can lead to oxygen deprivation to the fetus and permanent brain damage.
- Fracture, nerve damage, or bruising to the infant. This may stem from the physician’s choice of delivery method. Use of forceps, or forcefully removing the infant from the birth canal, may lead to injury.
- Maternal hemorrhaging. This can also result from an unreasonably long labor and delivery process, where the obstetrician fails to act in a timely manner.
- Infertility. Surgical mistakes or untreated medical conditions during pregnancy can leave a woman unable to conceive in the future.
