Types of Birth Injury Attorney Cases

Birth injuries may result from a broad range of negligent acts by doctors and other healthcare providers:

• Not monitoring or responding to changes in fetal heart rate
• Failure to manage a delayed delivery correctly
• Mechanical problems
• Early discharge from the hospital
• Failure to manage a high-risk delivery correctly
• Over medication
• Undetected oxygen deprivation
• Strangulation by the umbilical cord
• Failing to recognize fetal distress
• Failing to perform a cesarean section as needed

These birth injuries occur doing the labor and delivery, but injuries may occur during the pregnancy itself. Sometimes medical care professionals fail to diagnose or properly treat conditions that arise during pregnancy and can lead to birth injuries. When doctors fail to identify that something is going wrong, they may also be committing malpractice. If your new born child was seriously hurt or died during birth and are questioning if your doctor or healthcare provider was negligent, contact our Phoenix birth injury attorneys by calling 602.910.6779 or email us online.
