Ohio Neglect of Pregnancy Attorney
Medical Malpractice During Pregnancy
Mismanagement of a pregnancy can result in serious harm to the baby and/or the mother. The attorneys of The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., in Cleveland, Ohio, have obtained significant verdicts, settlements and judgments for clients who suffered serious harm because of pregnancy-related medical negligence.
Birth Injuries Caused by Pregnancy Negligence
When you are pregnant, your doctor should be monitoring your progress regularly, performing standard tests, and looking for signs of problems or unusual pregnancy symptoms that could potentially compromise your own health and safety or that of your unborn child. When doctors, obstetricians, midwives or others fail to recognize and respond adequately to these problems, and you or the baby are harmed because of it, you may be able to recover financial compensation for damages through a birth injury lawsuit.
Our lawyers represent clients in pregnancy-related negligence cases involving:
- Gestational diabetes
- Eclampsia and preeclampsia
- Failure to screen for genetic birth defects
- Failure to perform routine tests such as urine protein and sugar, ultrasounds and blood pressure
- Failure to respond to troubling pregnancy symptoms, such as spotting or cramping, high blood pressure or excessive water retention
- Failure to identify and appropriately manage high-risk pregnancies, including those involving advanced maternal age, hypertension, multiple gestation, previous premature births or previous birth by C-section
- Failure to refer patient to the appropriate specialist
- Failure to take action to stave off an unnecessary premature birth
