Medical Malpractice as a result of Birth Injuries & Surgical Errors
Birth injuries
Medical malpractice surrounding the birth of a child may result in injuries to the mother, the infant, or both. Childbirth injuries can be caused by:
Aggressive legal professional, dedicated to providing help to those in need
- Failure to properly administer pre-natal care
- Failure to administer or properly respond to tests which may indicate abnormalities
- Failure to recognize signs of fetal distress
- Delaying or hastening childbirth
- Failure to provide proper care to premature infants
If you or your newborn has been hurt in childbirth, consider investigating whether the injury resulted from medical malpractice.
Surgical and anesthesia errors
Surgical and anesthesia errors can devastate the victims of medical malpractice. Patients have had wrong limbs amputated, have had completely unnecessary surgeries, and have only discovered foreign objectsâlike surgical scissors or spongesâleft in their bodies months or years after surgery. Anesthesia errors can also kill or disable a patient.
If you have any lingering complication or disability as a result of a surgical procedure and suspect your doctor was negligent, consult a medical malpractice law firm in Memphis about your legal case.
