How Do I Know if Malpractice Caused Birth Injury?

Examples of Birth Injury Claims

Backed by a team of top-rated trial lawyers, Levinson Axelrod, P.A. has the resources to litigate all types of birth injury claims. This includes cases of:

Birth injuries can include any number of injuries suffered by babies or mothers due to negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. When investigating potential medical malpractice actions arising from childbirth-related injuries, our attorneys carefully evaluate providers’ quality of care and whether their actions deviated from accepted standards.

Because the specific facts of a case will determine what the applicable standard of care is for any one case, it is important for families with potential claims to speak with experienced attorneys during an evaluation. Substandard care can take many forms and it can be difficult to gauge if malpractice is to blame. Some examples of medical negligence that can give victims grounds to bring claims:

  • Failure to treat complications in pregnancy (gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, infection, etc.)
  • Failure to diagnose maternal infection or risk-factor conditions
  • Surgical errors and medication or anesthesia errors
  • Failure to monitor fetal heart rate or identify and respond to signs of fetal distress
  • Delayed C-sections resulting in infant brain damage
  • Improper use of labor-inducing drugs (Pitocin), forceps, or vacuum extractors
  • Negligent post-birth care, failure to provide timely treatment, NICU negligence
  • Failure to perform genetic counseling / wrongful birth claims
  • Tugging on the baby too forcefully during delivery
