When a birth injury is the result of negligence or error, the doctor or hospital may be held liable. Cerebral palsy can be an example of this. Obstetricians, other doctors, and nurses are expected to monitor the health and progress of pregnant women and their fetuses throughout pregnancy. They must monitor the pregnant women and fetuses before labor, during labor, and after birth. Failure to provide this 'basic level of care' can be considered medical negligence. Because of this negligence in the delivery room or negligence during pregnancy, your baby and your family will endure a most challenging life. This is one of the most difficult realities new parents can face. |
Not all birth injuries could have been detected or avoided. Your baby may have suffered a unique birth defect which was not detected at earlier stages.
