Not all birth injuries are the result of medical malpractice. In some cases, the birth injury is due to the health of the mother. In other cases, the birth injury may be the result of the natural risks that are inherent in delivery.  

For a birth injury to be the result of medical malpractice, the injury must be the result of the delivering doctor's negligence. This means that the doctor did not follow procedure or act in a way that is reasonably expected of a doctor.

A cosmetic surgeon in Moses Lake, Washington is facing a medical malpractice suit for unprofessional conduct after performing breast-reduction surgery and liposuction on a 15 year-old girl.

While several physicians have come to the aid of the surgeon, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported in 2005 that the cosmetic surgeon had been sued 10 times in the past and was forced to pay fines in 2001 and 2003 for errors made as a dental practitioner.

A cesarean section is a delivery procedure in which the doctor cuts open the mother's abdomen and delivers the baby through this opening. This procedure is usually associated with more complications than a typical procedure, and for that reason, the mother has a greater chance of injury. 

Cesarean sections are typically needed because of complications with the baby or the mother. The complications include a breeched baby, a baby with birth defects, or a mother with a serious illness or medical condition. 

During the cesarean section, the mother may face an infection, blood loss, respiratory complications, and other related risks. On the other hand, the baby may face breathing difficulties or other fetal injuries. 

If you have undergone a cesarean section and sustained an injury in the process, contact the Washington birth delivery malpractice lawyers of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.
