A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Giving birth is one of the miracles of life. With advancements in medical technology and science, mothers have more options for labor and delivery than ever before. One popular method right now is water birth, as it can ease pain, eliminate the need for anesthesia, and even speed up the delivery.
During water births, expectant mothers sit in a tub of warm water called a birthing pool. Many believe the water’s temperature and movement are what ease contraction pains and speed up the labor. Nevertheless, like other medical procedures, trained midwives and doctors must monitor water births to ensure safety and good health. If they are negligent or careless during the labor, you or your baby can suffer lasting damages.

Labor in general can be dangerous if not handled properly. Water births introduce additional risk because water can affect the health of the mother and child.
Common water birth dangers include:
Vigilant midwives and doctors can prevent a majority of these hazards. It is their responsibility to enlighten expectant mothers about the process and to prepare for any potential problems. There are certain steps these professionals need to take to ensure the labor and delivery are seamless.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
Responsibilities of the midwife or doctor include:
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
There are certain steps these professionals need to take to ensure the labor and delivery are seamless. For example, if a mother has a condition like preeclampsia or HELLP Syndrome, a water birth may not be safe, and doctors should take extra precautions to monitor blood pressure and other vital signs.
If you experienced complications during a water birth, you may have grounds for legal recourse through a medical malpractice lawsuit in Portland.
