Medical Negligence During A Difficult C-Section Delivery
A failure to perform a C-section can be extremely dangerous to the mother and fetus.

Cesarean Section Errors Can Lead To Serious Injuries
A C-section may be the best option when a fetus is in distress, the mother is in distress, labor is prolonged or the fetus is in a breech presentation. If the medical team fails to monitor the fetus, these types of issues may be missed.
Errors in a cesarean birth or failure to perform a timely C-section can cause serious injuries to the baby or mother such as:
- Damage to the placenta or umbilical cord
- Uterine rupture
- Hemorrhaging of the mother
- Injury requiring a hysterectomy
- Post-operative infection and other surgical errors
Our firm works with trusted medical experts to review medical records. We also consult with life-care planners and financial experts to calculate the cost of caring for a baby with cerebral palsy or other birth injuries. Because these children may live a long time, families will need considerable financial compensation to cover the cost of medical and daily care.
