Improper Use of Delivery Instruments
Ohio Childbirth Complications Lawyer
Often, a medical professional decides that instruments must be used to aid in childbirth. Commonly, these instruments include forceps and vacuum extractors. Unfortunately, if not used properly, delivery instruments can cause serious harm to both the mother and the baby.
The Cleveland child delivery attorneys at Mishkind Law Firm have a great deal of experience guiding clients through even the most complex birth injury cases. We strive to provide in-depth legal advice and representation following a careful examination of all the factors in your specific dilemma.
Serious and Catastrophic Injuries
With the help of our network of experts, we will complete a thorough examination of the medical records to get a better understanding of what occurred during delivery and what injuries are present. We know the medical literature as well as the doctors and know what the guidelines and standards require during a difficult or high risk pregnancy. Several injuries can result from the use of delivery instruments such as forceps or the Kiwi vacuum extractor, including:
- Cerebral palsy (CP)
- Shoulder dystocia
- Birth asphyxia
- Brain and head injuries
- Brain damage
- Brain hemorrhaging
Many serious birth injuries can require long-term medical care. Often these injuries occur when we know that the tragic outcome could have and should have been avoided. Due to failures on the part of one or more healthcare providers to follow the guidelines and recommendations of the hospital and organizations, these injuries occur. Frequently the doctors and nurses will refuse to admit fault and that is when you need the experience of Mishkind Law Firm to get to the truth. Our knowledge and experience in this practice area give us insight into the types of challenges our clients might be forced to endure for the rest of their lives. With this information and understanding of the law, we will aggressively fight to ensure the maximum compensation possible in your unique situation.
