What Medical Malpractice Is, How It Leads to Birth Injury, and How It’s Determined
When a baby is born in the United States, the family should be able to expect a reasonable level of care from delivering doctors, nurses, and support staff that doesn’t result in birth injuries to the newborn.
When that level of care is below acceptable levels, and birth injuries to the newborn result, that’s a prime example of medical malpractice–and that can result in any of the conditions listed below:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Perinatal Asphyxia
- Bone Fractures
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Facial Paralysis
- Brachial Plexus Injury
- Cephalohematomandia
- Caput Succedaneum
- Intracranial Hemorrhage
The end result of a newborn suffering these conditions range from developmental delays and loss of mobility to permanent brain damage and death.
That’s why victims of birth injury from medical malpractice and their families may be due compensation for a lifetime of care and support.
Reports and studies identify our country’s doctors as responsible for an alarming number of birth injuries from medical malpractice
Did you know that the United States is the most dangerous place in developing countries to have a baby? Over 50,000 of our country’s mothers are injured, around 700 die every year, and tens of thousands of newborns are also severely injured–-many permanently.
Did you know that the United States is the most dangerous place in developing countries to have a baby? Over 50,000 of our country’s mothers are injured, around 700 die every year, and tens of thousands of newborns are also severely injured–-many permanently.
For example, the supervising anesthesiologist at University of Wisconsin Health has been reprimanded by the state board and a junior doctor involved in the same surgery was sued for $22.5 million after they left a 6-week old newborn patient permanently brain damaged.3
And in Nebraska, the family of a newborn discharged from the hospital too early and developed seizures that led to brain damage was awarded $26 million, which is a record compensation for birth injury medical malpractice in the state.4
Even outside of the country, in Israel, a newborn boy and his family were awarded damages after the doctors failed to refer the victim to an ultrasound in 2016 resulting in him losing a fourth of his intestines and requiring lifelong care. 5
We don’t think any family should have to go through the agony of medical malpractice resulting in birth injury with compensation for pain, suffering, and lifelong care–and, we can help.
