When Is a Birth Injury Medical Malpractice?

Thousands of births each year encounter serious complications that threaten the health and safety of both mother and child. If the presiding physician did everything he or she reasonably could have done to protect both parties but a birth injury still occurred, the physician might not be liable for damages. To have a valid claim to compensation, the family must be able to prove that medical malpractice occurred. Many different examples of medical negligence could lead to a birth injury in Gresham.

Many different types of medical negligence could cause a preventable birth injury. Proving medical malpractice typically takes establishing through a preponderance of the evidence that the health care provider in question owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, breached this duty of care and caused the birth injury. Your attorney may have to hire a birth injury expert to testify as to the fact that the defendant committed malpractice before, during or after the birth of your child.
