Was Negligence a Factor?
Once it is determined what caused the injury, disability or death of your baby, it is important to work with medical professionals to determine if negligence was a factor in failing to diagnose fetal distress. George L. Mallory, Jr. & Associates works closely with medical professionals to investigate signs of fetal distress, including:
- Uterine rupture
- Asphyxia
- Hypoxia
- Wrapped umbilical chord
- Oxygen deprivation
Through the use of fetal monitoring and ultrasounds, and other prenatal care, medical professionals can determine if a fetus is in distress and proceed to give the mother a variety of options such as an emergency C-section or early inducement of labor. If a physician or other medical professional recognizes fetal distress and fails to act, he or she needs to be held accountable.
