Q. What is birth injury malpractice?
October 3, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
A. Birth injury malpractice is a specific type of medical malpractice referring to negligence relating to the delivery of babies, including premature babies. A birth injury malpractice attorney focuses on proving whether a medical professional involved with the care of the baby, such as a physician, physician’s assistant, family doctor, nurse or midwife, failed to follow the acceptable standards of care, resulting in an error and injuries. Any care which fell below the standard of care of a reasonably prudent health care provider may give rise to a cause of action for medical negligence. In delivering a baby, for example, a mid wife is held to the same standard of care as an OB-GYN.
