However, sometimes there are things that go wrong during the childbirth process. In certain situations, it is another party’s negligence that led to a necessary visit to the emergency room right before delivery. It could have been a lack of proper medical care during the pregnancy, or a negligent act that occurred during the delivery. When this is the case, a medical malpractice lawsuit may result.
In some situations, a doctor may not have been negligent and that may not have been the reason why an expectant mother ended up in the emergency room. However, it is up to the medical professionals in the emergency room to handle the situation with the utmost care. If a negligent act is committed when someone is brought to the emergency room, they may be liable for your injuries or your baby’s injuries. Did you know? |
