Our birth injury attorneys have handled a wide range of medical negligence cases involving pregnancy and birth.
- Prenatal care: Did the obstetrician provide all tests and care indicated by the mother’s condition and medical history? If test results were misread or inadequately addressed, and if that resulted in injury to the mother or baby, talk to a birth injury lawyer.
- Delivery or birth injuries: Did the doctor fail to diagnose fetal distress? A timely diagnosis can provide the option of a C-section. For example, if the baby is too large, or is in the wrong position in the birth canal, it can lead to fetal distress and a lack of oxygen. A lack of oxygen during birth can cause infant brain injury and mean a lifetime with a brain trauma injury. Other injuries caused at birth include erb’s palsy (shoulder dystocia) and cerebral palsy.
