Cleveland Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Not every bad medical outcome is a case of medical malpractice or hospital negligence. In order for malpractice to occur, there must be serious harm that was caused by the negligence of an obstetrical care professional or provider.
The attorneys of The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., in Cleveland, Ohio, have obtained millions of dollars in financial compensation for families harmed by obstetrical negligence. We work to prove that these caregivers failed to follow accepted standards of care and that failure caused our clients' injuries.
We represent clients who have been harmed by:
- Midwife, family doctor negligence: By failing to call an appropriate specialist or to recognize fetal distress, midwives and family doctors can cause harm to the mother and unborn child.
- Obstetrical nurse negligence: Obstetrical nurses are at the mother's side throughout labor and delivery. When an OB nurse fails to recognize potential problems and take appropriate action, the mother and child are needlessly placed at risk. Additionally, obstetrical nurses can be held accountable for failing to pursue a chain of command to protect the patient in cases in which the doctor continued on a dangerous course.
- Hospital negligence: When hospitals fail to have proper policies and procedures in place, they can be held responsible for birth injuries that are a result of this negligence. Hospital negligence may also include harm that occurs because of failure to provide adequate staffing, training levels, and/or failure to meet required standards for infection control.
