DELIVERY ROOM ERROR LAWYERS ANSWER FAQS

We know you have many questions if your baby was hurt during delivery. Here are answers to some of the common questions we get that may address some of your concerns.

What causes delivery room errors?

Hospitals are busy places, and doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and other providers may be tired and overworked, which can lead to errors. Sometimes when forceps are used to extract the child, it can cause injuries. Malfunctioning of equipment used in the delivery room may cause injuries. There are also situations in which the size of the baby, its position in the birth canal, difficult labors and other issues can lead to injuries. Not all injuries equal medical malpractice, however.

How do you prove medical malpractice in the delivery room?

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

What types of injuries can happen in the delivery room?

There are various types of injuries that 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 in the baby’s eyes, fractured clavicle or collarbone, bleeding under cranial bones, and damage to nerves that supply the arms and hands.

Will my claim go to trial?

The majority of medical malpractice cases can be resolved through negotiations with the health care practitioner’s insurance company. In some cases this may not be possible. Our delivery room error lawyers in Kansas always thoroughly prepare our cases as if we are going to trial so that we are ready for either possibility.

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. The law also gives an absolute four-year maximum for filing from when “the act giving rise to the cause of action” happened, which in this case is the delivery room error.
