Watching the Signs
A birthing mother has enough to worry about, going through the pain of labor and childbirth. It is the responsibility of the doctors and nurses to make sure they are paying attention to the equipment designed to monitor the status and health of the child during birth. The state-of-the-art fetal monitoring equipment now in place in most hospitals should eliminate most instances of serious personal injury or wrongful death to a child during birth. However, doctors or nurses fail to pay attention to this monitoring equipment on occasion, greatly increasing the risk to the children.
At Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge, we have more than 30 years of experience helping our Tennessee clients obtain compensation for injuries resulting from the negligence of others. With the medical and legal complexities involved with any birth injury litigation, it is essential to work with an experienced legal team. Our lawyers have the experience to recognize failure to monitor fetal distress as a cause for:
- Erb's palsy
- Cerebral palsy
- Umbilical cord compression
- Reduced blood flow
- Brain damage
