Attorney Susan R. Green has handled a wide range of birth injury malpractice claims against OB/GYNs, surgeons, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals:
- Oxygen deprivation — Failure to recognize fetal distress or perform a timely C-section can cause brain damage from hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Cerebral palsy is a common outcome, damaging the part of the infant's brain that controls movements.
- Delivery room errors — If the baby becomes stuck in the birth canal, use of vacuum extractors, forceps or excessive force can cause skeletal or nerve damage, such as Erb's palsy, damage to the nerves that control the arms and hands. Some babies have permanent loss of use, some have no feeling in the limb, and some require surgery or extensive therapy to regain limited use.
- Prenatal negligence — Failure to diagnose serious genetic disorders, correctable defects or dangerous conditions in the mother from pregnancy exams, sonograms (ultrasound) or amniocentesis. In one case, staff failed to notice that our client's water had broken, and the baby died.
- Surgical mistakes — Damages to life or limb arising out of improper or negligent operating technique or skills.
