Harris County Advocate for Victims of Pregnancy Complications
My law firm understands the far-reaching medical and financial effects of complications that arise during pregnancy. The worst possible effect is the death of the baby. You and your baby may face a lifetime of health issues as a result of your pregnancy complications. I am ready to help you pursue just compensation so that you can afford appropriate medical care for yourself and your baby.
Actively Practicing OB/GYN
I have been a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist (OB/GYN) for more than 20 years, helping families in Houston and throughout Southeast Texas. My active medical practice helps me stay current with accepted medical procedures and guidelines, and provides me with a solid foundation for understanding, investigating and reviewing medical malpractice and hospital labor and delivery negligence claims.
Possible Complications for the Mother
Your pregnancy should be a joyous time. Unfortunately, complications can arise. When doctors fail to diagnose your complications appropriately, you could not only possibly lose your baby, but you could also face severe, permanent injuries yourself.
The Law Office of Steven R. Edmondson can help you pursue a negligence claim involving:
- Preeclampsia (high blood pressure)
- Eclampsia (seizures)
- Diabetes
- Gestational diabetes
- Maternal strokes
- Hypertension
- Preterm labor
- Preterm ruptured membrane
- Incompetent cervix (too weak to hold the pregnancy)
- Placental abruption
- Placental previa
- HELLP syndrome (a complication involving high blood pressure, liver dysfunction and possible bleeding problems)
- Low amniotic fluid
- Inter-uterine growth restrictions
Possible Complications for Your Baby
Any number of the above conditions can trigger significant birth injuries. For instance, many pregnancy complications can cause your baby to be born premature. Premature infants are typically susceptible to medical conditions such as:
- Cranial hemorrhages
- Lung problems
- Developmental issues
As an OB/GYN and an attorney, I can provide comprehensive support. I can explain your situation, including the medical implications, to help you better understand your options. I can also tailor my legal strategies to help you accomplish your goals.
