Infant Deaths Caused by Medical Negligence

Our law firm can handle some of the most complicated and fiercely fought medical malpractice lawsuits, such as those involving stillbirths and infant deaths. We can network with medical experts to investigate the circumstances of the fetal death. In doing so, we might be able to uncover ample evidence of medical negligence that should have been completely avoidable.

Mistakes that medical providers can make that contribute to infant death risks include:

  • Failing to monitor fetal vital signs during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.
  • Failing to use ultrasounds to detect amniotic fluid loss and other issues.
  • Failing to record the mother’s blood pressure for signs of hypertension or hypotension.
  • Failing to notice an unborn baby’s movements have slowed down or stopped.

With an acceptable amount of attention paid to the mother and her unborn child, all these types of medical negligence should be completely avoidable. When a medical mistake should have not happened but did, the medical provider who caused the mistake could be directly and fully liable for any related damages.

Compensation for Fetal Death Claims

Money cannot undo what happened to your child. Financial compensation can help with the grieving process, though. With financial stability gained through a settlement or award, you can focus on your family rather than worrying about bills and expenses.

Your family could be owed compensation that helps pay for:

  • Medical costs
  • Hospital bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma

The outcome of your case could also help make sure that the same medical mistakes don’t hurt another family in the future. Lawsuits are often the only way that medical institutions and related corporations are prompted to make real change.
