Negligent Prenatal Care
Expecting parents do not rely on their doctor simply to deliver their child, but for medical care and evaluation throughout the pregnancy to ensure the safety a well-being of the child from conception onward. At times, a doctor’s failure to provide adequate care and evaluation during a pregnancy can lead to serious health complications for the child, mother, or both.
Negligence can occur long before childbirth, and the complications caused by such negligence can be extremely serious. If you or your child has been injured as a result of doctor’s failure to provide competent care, you may be entitled to compensation for resulting medical expenses and other damages.

Oversights during Pregnancy
The most severe mistakes in care that are likely during pregnancy are those pertaining to the failure of a medical professional to identify potential complications. Common examples of such oversights include:
- Failing to identify a developing birth defect.
- Failing to properly diagnose a disease in the mother which may be contagious to the fetus.
- Failing to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy.
- Failing to identify a medical condition in the mother which leads to complication.
There are many other medical mistakes which might endanger the welfare of mother or child, and it is important that the medical professionals responsible for them are held accountable for the harm that they have caused.
