A parent's excitement at the birth of their child is unmatched. However, it's also a time when medical issues could arise. These can include issues related to birth defects like cleft lips and missing limbs or congenital heart disease and muscular dystrophy. You may be able pursue a malpractice lawsuit in the event that a negligent doctor caused these issues during pregnancy or during delivery.
Birth defects can result from various reasons, including exposure to prescription medications or environmental factors, toxic chemicals and prenatal issues. A doctor's obligation to protect the health of the pregnant fetus and mother includes conducting appropriate screening tests and detecting and treating any issues that may arise during pregnancy.
Medical experts must determine if a doctor's error in diagnosing or treating the condition was negligent and resulted in serious injuries. To establish negligence, an expert must examine the standard of care a doctor would have followed under similar circumstances and show that the doctor didn't follow the standard of care and, as a result, caused injury or death.

Maternal deaths
Every year, 700-900 women die from complications that arise during pregnancy or childbirth. That is a staggering figure, especially in a first-world country like the United States. A recent report by USA Today suggests many of these deaths could have been prevented with better medical care in hospitals.
Some of the causes of maternal death are obstetric emergencies which include bleeding severe during delivery or a hemorrhage afterward or pre-existing conditions such as obesity and diabetes that affect the birth of a child and pregnancy. Doctors also have a responsibility to monitor warning signs such as high blood pressure, which may lead to preeclampsia, a dangerous condition. Preeclampsia could lead to premature separation of the placenta, seizures and the life-threatening condition called HELLP syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits that involve gynecology and obstetrics are some of the most frequent types of lawsuits filed in the United States. In a malpractice law firm case the plaintiff must prove that the doctor or healthcare provider violated the accepted standards of care and that negligence caused the plaintiff's injury or death. The legal community determines the standard of care, which differs from one state to the next. Despite the large number of malpractice lawsuits, most of them settle without ever going to trial. Settlements are typically reached through direct negotiations between parties and typically involves the assistance of an impartial third party such as a mediator (often retired judges or attorneys). Medical malpractice suits do not disqualify a doctor from practicing immediately.
Surgery-related injuries
Although medical advances have drastically reduced the risk of adverse outcomes, they do occur. If they do, they often cause serious injuries. These injuries aren't just painful and inconvenient but can cause costly corrective procedures, high medical costs, extended recovery times, or even death.
Every surgical error is not negligence, but. To prove a case it must be proven that a healthcare provider failed to follow the standard of care during an operation and this failure resulted in injuries. Medical malpractice could include:
The wrong-site surgery is when the surgeon performs surgery on a body component other than the one intended leaving a sponge scalpel, or other item inside a patient, puncturing or cutting a nerve or organ, or causing infections due to not properly cleaned and sanitized tools or instruments.
A surgical error lawsuit is a complicated matter and you should seek the help of an experienced attorney who understands medical malpractice. It is also important to document any injuries, with photos as well as take notes about any details you think are relevant to the case. It could take a long time for a lawsuit based on a surgical error to be settled, but it is worth it if you've been injured due to a mistake by your doctor. This is particularly true if your injuries are serious and are a significant threat to your quality of living.
Wrongful death
It can be unbearable to lose a loved one, especially when the death was the result of another's negligence. Based on the law of your state, it may be possible to file a claim against that party to recover damages for your loss.
A wrongful death case is distinct from a medical malpractice claim because it involves a person's life rather than their health. For this reason, the requirements for proof are higher - it must be proven beyond the reasonable doubt that your loved person's death was caused by an individual's negligence.
Joan's husband, for example, died of a lung tumor that was not detected by an x-ray. His death was caused by doctors who failed to follow his patient's symptoms and perform an MRI when the patient had trouble breathing. The delay in treatment caused the tumor to grow irreparably.
In this scenario the family members of the patient may pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the doctor and the hospital. As with a medical malpractice lawsuit, the type of damages that can be claimed is contingent on the laws of your state. They could include economic and non-economic damages such as funeral costs as well as loss of consortium and discomfort and pain prior to the death of the victim. The punitive damages can be claimed in wrongful death claims. This amount isn't included in all circumstances, but it is applicable if the victim's death is as a result multiple mistakes or suffered a particularly severe death.
