The birth of your baby is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. It can also be one of the most frightening when something goes wrong.
Fetal heart rate monitoring errors are one of the most common mistakes that occur during labor and delivery. Failure of medical staff to properly monitor your baby’s heart rate can lead to permanent injury or even the death of your child. If this happens to you, you should call our compassionate and qualified birth injury attorneys.
Labor and delivery technology has grown leaps and bounds during the last two generations. Now, many of the issues that once endangered the life of both mother and child are less threatening. Fetal heart rate monitoring has become a basic preventative measure used by medical professionals during routine appointments, labor, and delivery. It’s an important part of determining the health of your baby. Fetal heart rate monitoring helps the nurse and doctor see if the baby is in distress or if he or she isn’t getting enough oxygen.
Fetal heart rate monitoring errors can cause severe problems for your baby. If a baby is in distress and the monitor wasn’t used or errors occurred, medical staff may not see the signs of distress and can’t take appropriate action such as providing the right intravenous medication or performing an emergency C-section to help the baby.
The problems that can be caused by a fetal heart rate monitoring error can result in expensive medical care throughout your child’s entire life. To help your baby get the care that he or she may need for the rest of their life, call LawMD to speak with our experienced birth injury lawyers.
Fetal heart rate monitoring errors happen as a result of negligence. Often, this results in what is known as medical malpractice. However, it’s not an easy claim to prove and you should not face the hospital alone.
LawMD can provide a high degree of advocacy for parents who have undergone the aftermath of what can occur after a fetal heart rate monitoring error. We have lawyers who are also doctors, and we have other medical professionals on our staff. We can help you seek justice and compensation for your baby.
Worried about the out-of-pocket expenses involved with hiring birth injury attorneys? Don’t be. LawMD works on a contingency basis for families just like yours. This means that you don’t pay anything upfront. We are paid after we successfully settle your claim or win your lawsuit.
WE UNDERSTAND YOUR INJURIES, BECAUSE WE’VE LIKELY TREATED THEM.
Most of our physician-attorneys are either current or past treating doctors in, collectively, a wide range of medical specialties. There is a good chance one or more of our physician attorneys have actually treated medical conditions similar to the ones from which you or your loved one now suffers. That translates into care and understanding as your Counselors, and know-how as your Advocates.
TIME- AND COST-SAVINGS FOR YOUR CASE
Any honest medical malpractice attorney will tell you that one of the greatest expenses in a medical malpractice case is having to pay physician experts to study the details of the medical issues in your case and, if necessary, provide testimony at deposition and trial. While even our physician attorneys may also need to hire outside medical experts for your case, our medical know-how allows us to perform a significant amount of the medical analysis necessary for your case in-house which may translate into significant savings at the conclusion of your case.
RAPID RESPONSE WITH SOLID ANSWERS TO YOUR SERIOUS QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR CASE
Because we have in-house medical know-how, we can evaluate the medical questions in your case and provide answers without a lengthy wait. Our internal process involves getting the issues in your case quickly in front of the right physician attorney who, based on his or her medical experience and training, is most likely to have the answers you seek about whether you have a case and how we might help you get the compensation you deserve to help secure a brighter future for you and for your loved ones.
