Getting Answers to Your Questions if You Suspect a Birth Injury Was Caused by Medical Malpractice
Texas Birth Injury Lawyer
Discovering that your newborn has a serious medical problem is devastating. Many parents feel overwhelmed, confused, and uncertain. They are determined to do what's best for their child but they are fearful that they won't be able to do enough when faced with the realities of a serious condition like cerebral palsy or brain damage.
And many parents are haunted by the question, "Could this have been prevented?"
Medical malpractice is the cause of some birth injuries. It occurs when nurses, midwives, obstetricians, or anesthesiologists fail to provide the standard level of medical care before, during or after childbirth.
- Did the staff fail to identify fetal distress on the fetal heart monitor? Did they fail to take prompt action to prevent brain damage from lack of oxygen to the baby?
- Did the obstetrician carefully track and treat any existing or developing medical conditions of the mother, including high blood pressure and gestational diabetes?
- Were the staff alert to problems during the delivery, such as wrong positioning of the baby, stalled or prolonged labor, or too large a baby to be delivered vaginally? Did they delay a cesarean section too long?
