One of the most exciting experiences in your life is the birth of your child. You have anticipated this event for nearly nine months. Your first look at your little one is unforgettable and breathtaking. For some, however, this lifetime event has been marred with a horrific event. Injuries upon the birth of your child can lead to lifelong impairments and challenges. Sadly these injuries can result from a negligent doctor or the mistake of a hospital staff member.
Birth Injuries that Commonly Occur
As with any medical procedure, the standard quality of care must be met. When a medical professional fails to adhere to these standards, medical negligence has potentially occurred. This can include but not be limited to the following birth injury situations:
- Failure to diagnose or delay a diagnosis.
- Medical staff failing to detect and treat fetal distress.
- Oxygen intake has not been monitored or controlled, leading to damage to the mother or baby.
- Failing to perform or schedule an emergency cesarean section.
