Ohio Wrongful Death Attorney
Compensation for Families in Maternal Death Cases
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 11 women in the United States die during pregnancy, childbirth or the postpartum period for every 100,000 live births. This maternal mortality ratio does not include accidental deaths, those caused by violence, or deaths unrelated to pregnancy and childbirth.
At The Becker Law Firm, L.P.A., in Cleveland, we understand that the death of an expectant or new mother is not a statistic. It is a devastating loss. Our law firm can determine whether the death of your loved one was caused by medical negligence.
Financial Compensation for Survivors
Our attorneys have obtained financial compensation for families of women who died from medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, childbirth or the post-postpartum period. We are proud of our record of success. We know that just compensation in maternal death claims can help care for the family members left behind. Obtaining a fair verdict or settlement can also encourage more responsible behavior among doctors, nurses, midwives and other obstetrical caregivers who may have caused or contributed to the death.
A mother's wrongful death can occur for a broad range of reasons, including:
- Hemorrhage from labor, delivery or C-section
- Seizures from untreated preeclampsia
- HELLP syndrome
- Pulmonary embolism
- Cardiac arrest
- Surgical malpractice during C-section
Because of our many years of experience in birth injury and maternal death cases, we understand the causes and mechanisms of injury. Our lawyers are able to ascertain whether medical malpractice was involved in your case.
We seek compensation for the irreplaceable love of a mother and spouse, her companionship and emotional support as well as any financial contributions she made to the family.
