You Trust Your Doctors

As a parent or parent-to-be, you trust your doctors and medical staff to take care of you and your baby. They are supposed to be the experts who know whether or not you need a C-Section, painkillers, an epidural, or if special tools are needed to separate you and the baby safely.

☑️ Many newborns suffer minor injuries during birth that resolve without treatment.

☑️ And every year, thousands of babies are born with an injury that could have been avoided by the mother’s medical team.

☑️ Sometimes, birth injuries occur when signs of infant distress are overlooked. Other times, they result from the improper use of extraction methods during delivery.

➡️ Regardless of the circumstances, it is always the doctor’s responsibility to ensure your baby’s well-being and to recognize any risks based on the baby’s health at birth.

How Do You Know if You Have a Birth Injury Malpractice Case?

When Could a Birth Injury be Caused by Medical Negligence?

Doctors and hospitals that know they made a mistake will stonewall the evidence. They fear damage to their reputation and a malpractice lawsuit. Therefore, parents will have a hard time finding find answers to their child’s birth injury.

In a birth injury malpractice case, you must present clear evidence that the injury is the result of substandard or negligent care by the medical staff directly involved in the care of both mother and baby.

➡️ To prove malpractice, the following criteria must be met:

  1. There was a duty of care
  2. That the duty of care was breached
  3. That the injuries were a direct result of said breach of care or medical negligence

⚠️ One crucial factor to consider is how the jury evaluates the case. They will consult other medical professionals to determine whether they would have made the same decisions as your doctor in that situation. If the answer is yes, your doctor is considered to have met the local standard of care, and it won’t be deemed malpractice.

⚠️ For an action to qualify as malpractice, your doctor must have acted so negligently that no other competent doctor would have made the same choices under similar circumstances.

Some examples of medical error or negligence might include:

  • failure to follow standard protocols,
  • failure to act appropriately when facing certain conditions,
  • failure to properly monitor the fetus or the mother,
  • using the wrong tools for the situation

Basically, that the doctors, nurses, hospital and others did not follow their own established protocol for the situation. They deviated from the established standard of care.

Medical Negligence during Labor: Wrongful Death

At an estimated rate of 1,360 deaths per 100,000 live births, around 1-in-75 pregnancies ends in the death of the mother. Source: ourworldindata.org

If a mother passes away during pregnancy or labor due to the negligence of a doctor or medical professional, her surviving family may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek relief and compensation through the courts.

For example, a mother’s death caused by a defective medical device or complications from a C-section where doctors overlook blood-clotting risks in her medical history can be considered negligence.

In such cases, a wrongful death lawsuit may offer the surviving family financial relief for their loss, covering emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and more.

Approximately 800 women in the US die each year during pregnancy and within 42 days after delivery.

A mother’s death in the hospital often reflects a lack of preparation to deal with delivery complications. For example:

  • Hemorrhages
  • Cardiovascular problems
  • Infections
  • Cardiomyopathies
  • Pulmonary or amniotic fluid embolism
  • Preeclampsia and eclampsia
  • Mental health problems
  • Medical errors during a cesarean section

Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers have been fighting for families for more than 36 years. Our top-notch wrongful death lawyers can help.

What Is the Time Limit to File a Birth Injury Lawsuit in New York?

❤️‍🩹 More often than not, the grieving process distracts and delays loved ones from bringing their claim.

If your mother, wife, daughter, or relative died during her pregnancy or labor as a result of medical negligence or a defective medical device, you shouldn’t wait in bringing a wrongful death action.

📌 A statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. Once the cause of death is discovered, the clock starts ticking, and the time to file a claim begins to run out.

In New York, birth injury cases must be brought within two years and six months from the time of the injury.

Infant wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years from the date of the baby’s death.

➤ But there are occasions when the deadlines are shorter.

➡️ Contact our top New York birth injury attorneys as soon as possible to avoid your wrongful death or birth injury malpractice claim from being barred by the statute of limitations.
