A San Francisco, California, Lawyer Helping Families Hold Doctors Accountable
When a mother is in labor, both she and her baby are in very vulnerable positions. Both are dependent on doctors, obstetricians (OBGYNs) and nurses to provide a reasonable standard of care.
When Mother or Baby Is in Danger, Doctors Are Trained to Recognize Problems
Doctors, nurses, midwives and anesthesiologists can typically recognize fetal distress and respond to it accordingly. There are usually clear signs that indicate when a baby is in distress or when a mother is having too much difficulty in her labor. These are moments when medical professionals must act quickly to help either mother or baby.
We cannot change the past, but we can try to make things right again.

When Medical Professionals Fail to Notice Problems
When medical professionals fail to notice problems during labor and delivery, the results can be disastrous, and even deadly. Babies can suffer from hypoxia caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain.
Lack of oxygen to the brain can lead to neonatal encephalopathy, which is irreversible brain damage in a newborn, or to symptoms of cerebral palsy in newborns.
Problems During Labor and Delivery
Medical negligence can include:
- Inappropriate monitoring or delivery of drugs used during the delivery
- Delayed C-sections and other Cesarean section issues
- Forceps or excessive force used to deliver the baby
- Induction causing injury to the baby
- Improper monitoring of the fetal monitoring strip, and failure to identify fetal distress
