Delivery room professionals are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the well-being of the mother and baby during labor. Obstetricians are trained to perform timely C-sections when the fetus is in distress because of conditions such as hypoxia or a premature separation of the placenta from the uterus, a condition known as abrupted placenta. If Ob/Gyn professionals fail to respond quickly to fetal distress, a safe delivery could be put at great risk.

Uncovering Malpractice in Labor and Delivery Rooms
If you believe medical malpractice was a factor in your infant's delivery, entrust our law firm to help protect your legal rights. The attorneys at our law firm will act quickly, conducting a thorough investigation into the series of events leading up to your labor and delivery.
The medical malpractice attorneys at our firm understand that fetal distress can stem from a wide range of complications. For example, a prolapsed umbilical cord wrapped around the neck of the fetus, can cause a spike in the baby's heart rate. Commonly, obstetricians use pitocin to induce and accelerate labor. The negative side effects of pitocin can, however, cause fetal distress. To avoid the negative effects of pitocin, obstetricians are trained to put mothers on their right side and give them oxygen.
We understand that complications during a labor and delivery are sometimes unavoidable. But, we will aggressively pursue a medical malpractice claim if your obstetrician failed to respond in a timely manner to alleviate fetal distress. Failure to conduct an emergency C-section could directly cause a birth injury or a fatality. We prepare every medical malpractice claim for a favorable trial verdict to help families secure a full financial recovery.
