Less than 100 years ago, death during childbirth was a common fear. We simply didn’t have the technology that we can now use. Today, many birth injuries and the death of the mother are avoidable. This is because we simply don’t have as many circumstances that can permanently alter life, thanks to modern medical technology.
Medical technology helps health care professionals know when a mother needs an emergency C-section because of a spike or drop in blood pressure or when to diagnose Group B Strep (GBS) in order to start the mother on antibiotics and help ensure a baby doesn’t develop meningitis.
Yet, when these common standards are not upheld, mistakes happen that permanently change an entire family. In those instances, you need skilled birth injury lawyers who can help you pursue justice and a fair recovery.
