The death of a child is always a tragedy. Such deaths are a relatively high
cause of medical malpractice lawsuits. Various medical failings are often the
cause of stillbirth. Sometimes the use of
cytotec
is involved. One study reported stillbirth or fetal death as the cause of 7.1%
of birth injury malpractice lawsuits. The misdiagnosis of a newborn can also be
a common reason for the death of ones child.
Medical negligence occurs through unreasonable
negligence or, more commonly, failure to provide the expected standard of care
in a given community. When a doctor or health care professional agrees to
diagnose or treat a patient, he or she has assumed a duty of care toward that
patient. The health care provider may be the doctor, nurse or a member of the
staff. It is possible that the individual is a lab or x-ray technician with
certain qualifications for operating advanced medical equipment or interpreting
results of tests.
If you are a parent of a child with cerebral
palsy, you may not know the cause of their condition. Unfortunately, injuries
during birth can too often result in cerebral palsy. Sometimes these injuries
can be caused by a medical mistake or negligence on the part of the doctor,
nurses, or hospital.
