What negligence during the pregnancy can lead to birth injuries?
In order to be practicing medicine at a skill level befitting their profession, Obstetricians should be providing proper pre-natal care in order for the baby to be born healthy. Both mother and child should be monitored carefully through the pregnancy and checked for any signs leading to potential risks or dangers. Failure to perform the necessary test and procedures, or to give the mother adequate attention can amount to negligence resulting in serious birth injuries. Because negligence is not easily proven, it is best to have the matter investigated as soon as possible to ensure a greater chance of compensation for any injuries incurred.
