Women place not only their lives, but those of their unborn children, in the hands of their obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs). They have the right to expect their doctors to live up to the standard of care established by the profession and this specialty. When OB/GYNs breach this standard of care, and a patient or her baby is injured or dies as a result, medical malpractice has occurred.

OB/GYN malpractice can take many forms, from a missed diagnosis of breast cancer or cervical cancer, to errors in screening and testing, to surgical errors and mistakes in labor and delivery. Some doctors may fail to recognize and appropriately manage a high-risk pregnancy, or fail to recognize fetal distress during labor. Doctors may fail to order a Caesarian section (C-section) when needed or may cause birth injuries to a baby with improper use of a vacuum or forceps. OB/GYN malpractice also includes circumstances in which an OB/GYN deliberately betrays patient trust by conducting an inappropriate examination or even sexual assault.

Whatever the nature of an injury from OB/GYN malpractice, it is usually difficult for the victim to talk about. Yet such injuries are important, and deserve acknowledgement and compensation. The Fraser Law Firm P.C. can help.
