Obstetrical Malpractice: Birth Injuries, Or Injuries To Mother Or Child

Obstetrical mistakes often result in severe or fatal damage to the mother or baby. In some cases, doctors fail to prevent hypoxia — loss of oxygen — which can cause brain damage. In other cases, doctors and nurses make errors in determining the best type of delivery (C-section or natural delivery).

Common errors on the part of obstetricians, nurses and hospital staff include:

  • Errors made during delivery
  • Failure to recognize fetal distress
  • Failure to take appropriate steps to prevent infection
  • Failure to consider health risks to the mother

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for birth errors to lead to the death of a mother or child, or severe damage to a baby’s brain and nerves. Most birth injuries can be prevented with appropriate medical care.
