Ohio Difficult Birth Attorneys
Birth Trauma From Negligent Delivery Technique
Improper delivery technique can cause delivery trauma that results in serious birth injuries or death of the unborn baby.
The attorneys of The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., in Cleveland, Ohio, have extensive experience representing families in cases involving improper delivery technique. Together, we have more than 70 years of legal experience. We have the skills and experience required to achieve a positive outcome in challenging birth injury claims.
Our lawyers understand how improper delivery techniques lead to injuries. Based on our knowledge and years of experience, we are able to review the medical records and determine whether the injuries were caused by negligence.
Improper delivery technique can mean many things, including:
- Improper use of a vacuum extractor
- Improper forceps delivery
- Failure to schedule cesarean section to avoid shoulder dystocia
- Failure to correctly perform maneuvers to relieve shoulder dystocia
- Applying too much force to the baby's head, neck or shoulders
Cases of improper delivery technique often involve inexperienced midwives or family doctors who are in over their heads and do not seek the assistance of an experienced obstetrician in a difficult birth situation.
Although obstetricians have more experience and training in correctly handling high risk deliveries and responding to emergency situations, they make mistakes, too. Only a careful review of the circumstances can determine if negligence was responsible for a child's birth injuries.
