We Hold Negligent Providers Accountable for Birth Injuries

by admin@gotechark.com | August 19th, 2019

It’s common for expectant parents to assume that childbirth is a relatively risk-free process due to current medical technology. And while most women give birth without incident, some experience complications that can harm them and their babies. Of those complications, some are caused by negligent medical providers including doctors, nurses, and midwives.

Birth injuries can range from minor to life-threatening for both mothers and their children. Babies can experience severe injuries that can have a long-lasting impact on their lives, including cerebral palsy and nerve damage in their arms, hands, and fingers. Women also face serious risks both during delivery and while pregnant, including uterine rupture.

Healthcare providers who treat pregnant women are supposed to take all of the necessary precautions throughout their patients’ pregnancies. That means monitoring for potential complications and following the proper protocol for addressing issues or emergencies if or when they happen. When healthcare providers fail to react on time or appropriately, serious injuries can occur.

At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we believe that medical providers who practice or assist before, during, and after childbirth should be held to a high standard, and when they fail to live up to that standard, they should be held accountable.
