Labor & Delivery Complication Lawyer in Oregon
Learn How Our Portland Birth Injury Attorney Can Help
The last thing that any parent should be worried about after the birth
of their new child is preventable injuries caused by the actions of a
doctor or nurse that did not abide by the proper standard of conduct.
While many births occur without a problem, when the doctor, nurse, or
other medical professional caring for you during this time injures you
or your infant, you may be able to hold them liable for medical malpractice.
Do I have a medical malpractice case?
Some babies that have suffered from a delivery problem will recover with
some extra medical attention while others suffer from extreme injury the
remainder of their lives. Unfortunately, many problems during the labor
and delivery process occur through failing to properly monitor the mother
and the infant throughout the process. Keeping a careful eye on the needs
of you and your baby can prevent needless injuries, and the doctors and
nurses that failed to perform this basic level of care can be brought
up on medical malpractice charges.
Call a medical malpractice lawyer if any of the following occurred when
you were delivering your infant:
- Delayed C-section
- Placenta abruption
- VBAC complication
- Failure to notice fetal distress
- Oxygen deprivation
- Leaving baby in birth canal
- Umbilical cord twisting or blocking
Any amount of suffering that occurs is too much. Not only is giving birth
in a hospital a significant expense to a family, the additional costs
associated in the care and treatment of an infant and the mother that
have been harmed in the process can be immense.
You should not have to pay when you have suffered from a preventable injury.
