While accidents and emergencies happen in the delivery room, doctors still have the responsibility to react promptly and appropriately if something unexpected should occur. When doctors fail to do so, infants and mothers can seriously be injured. Birth injuries include brain damage from lack of oxygen, cerebral palsy, failure to thrive, and other serious conditions. In many cases, these birth injuries could have been prevented with proactive monitoring and attentive medical care.
Should your doctor fail to provide you with a safe level of medical care during your labor, or even during your prenatal care appointments, it is important to hold him or her accountable for the damage that has been caused by the negligence. As your Charles County personal injury lawyers, we build a solid case in order to adeptly confront the negligent parties.
