It is advisable to seek legal representation for maternal and birth injuries that may have resulted from medical negligence. This includes:
Birth injuries: complications during childbirth that result in injury, such as brachial plexus injuries, cerebral palsy, or other physical or neurological damage.
Failure to diagnose or treat: for example when pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or infections, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), result in harm to mother or baby.
Medication errors: if adverse reactions or complications result in harm, an assessment may determine if negligence or malpractice was involved.
Surgical errors: especially in cases of cesarian section, or other surgical procedures during pregnancy or birth, errors during surgery can lead to injury or complications.
Inadequate prenatal care: adverse outcomes for mother and baby can sometimes be linked to failures in prenatal care, particularly where diagnostic tests or necessary treatment was not provided or warning signs of birth complications were ignored.
