Miami Labor & Delivery Complication Lawyer

After nine months of preparing for and carrying a baby, labor and delivery are often welcome events for many expecting mothers and fathers. But pregnancy complications or labor and delivery complications can permanently change an otherwise joyous event.

If you believe a doctor, nurse, or hospital involved in your birthing experience made a mistake that caused injury to you or your child, our Miami labor & delivery lawyers at Freidin Brown, P.A. can help. We offer a free consultation to discuss what may have gone wrong during childbirth and who should be held responsible for the pain and suffering caused to your family. Contact our firm online or to schedule a FREE consultation.

Causes of Baby Birth Complications

Labor and delivery complications may be the result of natural causes or errors by your delivery team. Labor complications may include:

  • Pre-term labor or premature birth
  • Prolonged labor (failure to progress)
  • Breech birth
  • Umbilical cord issues

Not all labor complications are the result of medical malpractice or negligence. However, accurately identifying and appropriately responding to these complications are the responsibilities of your medical team. When fetal distress is not properly addressed, a legal case for medical negligence or malpractice may be needed.

Errors in the birthing process that can lead to serious injury or wrongful death (and that may be caused by medical malpractice or hospital negligence) include:

  • Failure to monitor your baby, including overlooking signs of oxygen deprivation or heart rate changes
  • Delaying a cesarean section (C-section)
  • Improper use of forceps or a vacuum
  • Overmedicating with labor-inducing drugs such as Pitocin or administering the wrong medication
  • Using too much force during birth to pull the baby from the birth canal

The risks of childbirth do not end once your child is born; your labor and delivery team should carefully monitor you and your baby before, during, and after delivery.
