Labor and Delivery Malpractice
West Virginia Birth Injury Lawyer
The birth of your child should be a momentous and celebrated event. The care and capability of the attending medical professional should be the last thing in question. When complications arise during labor and delivery, you should be able to place your faith in the doctor, nurses, or other medical professionals to handle this distressing situation appropriately. The causes of many of these complications can be traced back to the negligence and/or incompetence of the working physician. In these cases of labor and delivery malpractice, the medical professional must be held legally responsible for the unjustified damage done to the mother or child.
These injuries can lead to very large ongoing medical fees; consequently it is essential that you consult with the legal expertise of an attorney. During the labor and delivery process, unforeseeable difficulties can abruptly turn a smooth procedure into an emergency. Medical professionals have received extensive training in order to effectively manage these harrowing circumstances. Some of the more common birth injuries include:
All of these complications should be effectively identified and appropriately managed to the best of the physician's ability. If you feel like your complications have not been handled to this standard then it is important that you seek legal help.
