How Our Kansas Law Firm Can Help After a Delivery Room Error

If something goes wrong in the delivery room and you or your child is injured, you may not understand what rights you have. At Palmer Law Group, our hospital negligence lawyers can guide you through the entire claims process to help you recover losses.

One of the first things we will do is ensure we can establish liability. This is not always a simple process, because it requires proving that the medical professional had a duty of care toward you and your child and they breached it. We have to demonstrate that the injury would not have occurred under a competent and responsible healthcare provider. That means reaching out to medical experts who can analyze what the doctor did and provide their thoughts on whether the doctor acted correctly or not. We then have to show that the doctor’s actions directly led to the injuries your child suffered and that your family deserves compensation.

If we can prove negligence, we will then start negotiating with insurers. We will fight to help you get fair compensation, even if it means advocating for you in court. Our years of litigation experience mean that we will always prepare a case for court, even if the majority of claims are resolved much sooner.

Delivery Room Error Lawyers Answer FAQs

If your child has suffered injuries because of a delivery room error, we have the answers to some common questions.

What causes delivery room errors?

Delivery room errors can occur for many reasons, including overworked healthcare providers. The recent nurse shortages have made clinics and hospitals less able to maintain their standard of care, resulting in errors of all types. Besides overworked staff, other causes of delivery room errors are the improper use of delivery instruments and not appropriately monitoring both the mother’s and the baby’s vital signs.

How do you prove medical malpractice in the delivery room?

To prove medical malpractice, our attorneys will work to show that the healthcare provider did not deliver the standard of medical care that another provider would have in similar circumstances and that this negligence directly led to your child’s injuries.

What types of injuries can happen in the delivery room?

Some of the more common birth injuries according to Stanford Children’s Health include facial nerve injuries, bruising and swelling of the baby’s head, broken blood vessels, fractured clavicle or collarbone, bleeding under cranial bones, and damage to nerves that supply the arms and hands.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Kansas?

Under the Kansas statute of limitations , you generally have to file a medical malpractice claim within two years from the date of injury or the date on which injuries were discovered.
