Pursuing Justice for Hospital Labor and Delivery Negligence
Complications with pregnancy and childbirth can be traumatic. Complications caused by negligence during labor and delivery are especially traumatic.
I understand the intense emotional, medical and financial hardships you may be facing due to the negligence of medical professionals and hospitals.
My goal as your lawyer is to help clients receive just compensation for heart-breaking medical malpractice.
OB/GYN Since 1990
In addition to serving my clients as an attorney, I have been a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist (OB/GYN) since 1990. I have successfully delivered thousands of babies in Harris County. My extensive medical background provides me with a unique perspective on your labor and delivery negligence case. The Law Office of Steven R. Edmondson is dedicated to helping families who have suffered undue birth injuries, pregnancy complications or wrongful death due to negligence.
As an actively practicing OB/GYN, I am aware of acceptable standards of care under Texas law. I can evaluate your situation from every angle. I can review medical records and labor and delivery procedures to identify negligence and prove liability.
Labor Negligence
Labor represents an important phase of childbirth. If doctors, nurses, midwives and medical students are negligent during this phase, the consequences can be catastrophic for your baby. My law firm can help you pursue legal action for birth injuries or wrongful death caused by:
- Fetal distress during labor
- Delayed C-sections
- Asphyxia
- Encephalopathy
Mismanaged Delivery
Delivering a baby requires precision. When a delivery is mismanaged to the slightest degree the consequences can be tragic. As an OB-GYN with more than 20 years of experience delivering babies, I understand how to investigate your case. I can review procedures and gather documentation to support your claim of negligence. I can help you and your family seek compensation for the consequences of delivery negligence, including:
- Maternal hemorrhaging
- Placenta previa
- Placental abruption
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb's Palsy
- Surgical errors
- Birth trauma
Hospital Negligence Issues
Depending on your situation, you may encounter barriers to pursuing a hospital negligence claim. The sooner you contact me, the sooner I can evaluate your case and explain your legal options.
Teaching hospitals are sometimes accused of medical negligence. If your labor was supervised or your delivery was performed by an intern or resident, the hospital, attending physician and supervisors could be liable for negligent supervision. I have more than 20 years of medical experience. I possess a firm understanding of proper supervisory guidelines and standards of care. I can help you pursue justice for a teaching hospital's negligence.
