Birth Injuries - OB/GYN Negligence
If you, your child or a loved one has been injured as a result of OB/GYN negligence, contact an attorney immediately to have your case reviewed by an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
Injuries to babies and mothers can occur as a result of medical negligence, which may include a failure to timely react to signs of fetal distress. In some cases, doctors or nurses notice an irregularity in the heartbeat of a baby in the womb, but fail to take appropriate action. Negligence by a doctor or nurse may result in serious injury, including:
- Injuries to the shoulder or arm (e.g. Brachial plexus injury/shoulder dystocia)
- Fatal injury to the mother or child
- Brain damage/cerebral palsy
Brain injuries can occur when medical staff is negligent and create a situation in which the baby suffers a lack of oxygen. In many cases, serious or even fatal injuries occur that could have been avoided if a doctor, nurse or staff members had decided to look more carefully at the result of a test, communicate clearly with other hospital staff, take time to fully read medical charts and carefully monitor mothers and babies before and after a delivery.
