A Scottsdale Attorney for Birth Injury Lawsuits

Arizona Obstetrician Malpractice Lawyers

In the course of delivering a child, an obstetrician and support staff must do everything possible to minimize the risk of a birth injury. Fortunately, most doctors, nurses and staff at hospitals are extremely professional and diligently protect the health of mother and child. But there are a small number of medical professionals in Arizona who are negligent, irresponsible, or reckless during the delivery of a baby. A doctor must be right 100% of the time or tragedy may result. Some common mistakes that lead to birth injuries or death include:

  • Lacerations to mother or child resulting from reckless use of forceps or C-section medical devices
  • Failure to correctly diagnose medical risks for the mother or child before delivery
  • Inappropriate or inadequate response to complications during labor
  • Errors related to prescriptions since many prescription drugs can cause birth defects

Babies can become asphyxiated, break limbs, and suffer spinal or cranial injuries during delivery; mothers may bleed to death, suffer internal organ damage, and suffer unnecessary pain and scarring. The possibilities for unnecessary suffering are endless when a child is born. If you believe that your Arizona doctor made errors during delivery, call 480-874-2918 to speak with our office.

Long-Term Struggles Related to Birth Injuries for Arizona Families

The injuries suffered during delivery do not end at the Arizona hospital: birth injuries resulting from obstetrician malpractice may lead to a lifetime of medical care. Paralysis, asphyxiation, brain damage, spinal cord injuries and other suffering may require permanent convalescent care and round-the-clock nursing assistance.
