During a pregnancy and through the birth delivery process, doctors, nurses, medical facilities, and medical staff are required to provide quality of care that reflects the high standards of care that any reasonable medical professional would provide.
In most situations, the standard of care provided during a pregnancy and birth are excellent. However there are occasions when this is unfortunately not the case, and the result may be a birth injury to the child or birthing injury to the mother.
When Doctors, Nurses, or medical professionals make mistakes or have exhibited negligent, reckless, or careless actions during a pregnancy or birth of a child, injuries to the child or mother can occur. Under these conditions, the law allows the parents of the child or the injured mother to seek justice for birth or birthing injuries through civil litigation.
