During pregnancy, labor, and childbirth, babies depend on their mother’s body for oxygen and nutrients. Without this connection, babies cannot properly develop or survive. However, there is also a risk of infections passing from mother to child. Competent obstetricians and midwives understand these risks and the potential harm that could result from the infections.
Unfortunately, failing to treat maternal infections appropriately can lead to various illnesses and birth injuries. While these injuries are not necessarily visible, they can still endanger your child. If a healthcare provider failed to correctly diagnose or treat maternal infections, he could be liable for the harm your child suffered. Working with a knowledgeable lawyer from Birth Injury Law Alliance, Ltd. dramatically increases your likelihood of receiving full compensation.
