Can medical malpractice lead to a birth injury?
A. Doctors and all other medical personnel must use a level of skill equal to that of everyone else in their profession under similar circumstances. Proper pre-natal care is vital to the healthy delivery of a child. The baby and mother should be monitored throughout the pregnancy to check for certain signs of risk or danger. If your doctor does not perform the necessary tests or give you adequate attention, this negligence may result in a serious birth injury. Negligence is difficult to prove, and the sooner the matter is investigated, the greater the chances are of receiving compensation.
