Labour & Delivery Medical Negligence

The birth of your child should be a heart-warming and joyous occasion. However, medical errors during labour and delivery can occur leaving your family heartbroken and scrambling for financial assistance.

Improper use of forceps, umbilical cord prolapse, and meconium aspiration are just a few of the unfortunate events that can occur during labour and delivery, which can leave your baby struggling with brain injuries or bodily injuries.

In recent years, the use of forceps in the delivery of babies has decreased. There is a documented risk of fetal morbidity and mortality with forceps deliveries which has led to an increase in cesarean sections over the use of forceps. However, the choice usually depends upon the training, experience, and preference of the physician.

Statistics indicate that forceps procedures are involved in one out of three malpractice cases involving fetal injury in the United States.

Most medical negligence involving forceps arises from the negligent use of forceps as opposed to a failure to use them.
