Failure to Diagnose Can Lead to Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can happen when doctors take the wrong action; they can also occur when obstetrical caregivers fail to act. The attorneys of The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., represent families who suffered harm because of an obstetrical caregiver's failure to diagnose, treat or otherwise prevent a birth injury.
From our offices in Cleveland, Ohio, we represent clients in a wide range of cases involving failure to diagnose and treat conditions such as:
- Uterine rupture: Various types of obstetrical malpractice can result in the rupture of the uterus, which can be life threatening.
- Prolapsed umbilical cord: When the umbilical cord folds over onto itself, the flow of life-sustaining blood and oxygen to the fetus can be cut off, resulting in serious, permanent brain damage or death to the child.
- Fetal distress: Fetal monitoring systems can pick up early indications of fetal distress. This distress can reflect oxygen deprivation caused by various factors. Failure to read and respond appropriately to these SOS signals from the baby can cause serous birth injuries or wrongful death.
- Test-Related Negligence
Our lawyers represent clients in cases involving failure to order necessary tests, failure to respond appropriately to test results and failure to respond appropriately to fetal monitoring. This includes routine blood and urine tests done in a normal pregnancy exam, sonograms and other imaging tests.
