Pursuing Maximum Compensation For Doctor Negligence During Labor And Delivery

The weeks leading up to a child’s birth — especially the moments of delivery — are filled with potential dangers for both the mother and the child. The doctors and other medical professionals need to be especially diligent in protecting the mother and child from injuries. In most cases, a competent doctor should be able to spot uterine rupture and deal with the situation immediately to avoid injuries to the mother and child.

If you or your child has been injured due to a catastrophic uterine rupture during childbirth, your life will never be the same. When the doctor’s negligence or malpractice are to blame, you are entitled to compensation for your suffering. Contact a Detroit uterine rupture lawyer from Michigan’s McKeen & Associates, P.C. We will look into your case to determine liability and if you have a case, we will fight for the maximum compensation award possible. In addition to Michigan, we practice in Illinois and throughout the United States.

Uterine rupture occurs most frequently during a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery, or VBAC. Uterine scars left by cesarean delivery can greatly increase the risk of rupture during subsequent vaginal births, and, of course, a greater number of cesarean births correspondingly increase the risk of rupture.

When it goes unnoticed or is not dealt with properly by the doctor, uterine rupture can result in much more serious consequences, including asphyxia, cerebral palsy and other forms of brain damage, and, in the most serious cases, wrongful death.
