Protecting victims of delivery room errors
Delivering babies safely depends a great deal on preparation and precise timing. Physicians are trained to evaluate the fetus's position and the mother's symptoms to determine the stage of the delivery. When medical professionals fail to follow the recognized standard of care, the health of the fetus and the mother can quickly be put in jeopardy.
If you believe you or your child may have been injured because of a delivery room error, the Carter Law Offices will devote all the time and resources necessary to uncovering the truth about what really happened. We often work closely with some of the finest expert physicians, including ones from top flight medical institutions such as Yale, Stanford, and the University of Michigan to evaluate the medical evidence and determine if medical malpractice occurred, such as:
- Forceps errors or vacuum extraction errors leading to Erb's palsy
- Failure to recognize fetal distress resulting in brain damage or death
- Failure to recognize and treat eclampsia or pre-eclampsia
- Incorrectly performing a C-section resulting in cerebral palsy for the child
We have extensive experience handling cases involving serious injuries to mothers and infants, including wrongful death. We are well prepared to protect your rights and hold negligent medical staff accountable for their actions.
