Injury in Childbirth

We all give physicians a leap of faith when we go to them. After all, we are not doctors and have not completed a medical degree. Thankfully, medical professionals are here to save our health, and sometimes, even our lives.

Sometimes, however, there remains a bitter aftertaste after a doctor visit. You might think of horror stories, like a forgotten pair of scissors in the abdomen after a surgery or an operation carried out on the wrong hand. But the negligence of doctors is not always so obvious at first glance.

Medical Malpractice resulting in Birth Injury – The horror of all expectant parents.

Especially when it comes to row offspring, our protective instinct is extremely strong. If there are any complications during pregnancy, we will do anything in our power to help the unborn life.

But even when everything looks good and the pregnancy proceeds straightforwardly, sometimes something is wrong with the newborn baby.

Maybe a cesarean wasn’t arranged fast enough? Maybe the doctor failed in spite of indications to carry out important checkups? Perhaps the doctor injured the child in an amniotic fluid examination?

Medical malpractice and medical negligence are thankfully quite rare. Nevertheless, you should especially if the newborn has injuries, deformities, or will otherwise not subsequently develop according to his age, examine whether the doctor has informed of all risks and contingencies.

If this is the case or you feel you have even the slightest doubt; you should seek a lawyer’s advice. If the injury of a newborn is caused by negligence of the physician, it is your right that the physician and their insurance company pay for future medical follow-up and the damage inflicted.
