Failure to Respond to Medical Problems in the Mother

Many women with pre-existing medical conditions can deliver a healthy baby, but in many cases these women require additional care and monitoring during their pregnancies. If medical staff at hospitals do not provide this additional care, both the mother and child may be at risk. In addition, it is important to note that pregnant women are more at risk if they develop a medical problem during pregnancy. Even a simple flu or other minor ailment can become very serious very quickly for a pregnant woman and her unborn child. It is crucial that medical staff and doctors carefully monitor a mother and her child to offer medical treatment when needed.

If you have been diagnosed with a medical problem during your pregnancy but were not correctly treated, you and your pregnancy may be at risk. If you or your child have suffered injury because your medical condition was not correctly monitored or treated, you have legal rights.
