How Will An Attorney Help This Case?

These cases can become incredibly complex. As soon as the other side knows you are pursuing a medical malpractice claim, it will become difficult to get the information you need on your own. Your Monmouth County medical malpractice attorney will be responsible for:

  • Obtaining the safety records and error rates of the doctor and facility.
  • Negotiating with all parties for compensation that you need or take the case to trial if necessary.

What Can Happen During Labor And Delivery?

Both mother and baby can be injured during the delivery process. The infant mortality rate in the US is highest amongst developed nations, and in this country, more women are dying from pregnancy-related complications than in any other developed country.

Healthcare staff, including doctors, nurses, and more, should all be vigilant when a mother is in labor. Doctors and nurses should always be aware of the signs of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. They should watch for signs of distress and recognize the best steps forward for delivery. This includes making a decision of whether or not to perform a C-section.

Some of the most common injuries that occur to a child during the labor and delivery process are:

  • Bone fractures
  • Meconium aspiration
  • Fetal oxygen deprivation
  • Brain bleeds
  • Nerve damage
  • Cerebral palsy

We Are Ready To Get To Work For You

If you or your child were harmed during the labor and delivery process due to the negligence of a healthcare professional, seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
