Birth defects
The birth of a baby is a incredibly exciting time for a parent. Unfortunately, it's also the time when medical issues could arise. These may include issues related to birth defects, such as lips that are missing or cleft, or congenital heart diseases and muscular dystrophy. You may be able to make a claim for malpractice in the event that a negligent doctor caused these conditions during pregnancy or delivery.
Birth defects can result from many reasons, including exposure to prescription medicines or harmful chemicals, environmental factors and prenatal care issues. A doctor's responsibility to ensure the health of a mother and fetus is to conduct the appropriate screening tests, and detecting and treating any abnormalities during pregnancy.
Medical experts must determine if a doctor's negligence caused fatal injury or death as a result of not diagnosing or treating the condition. To establish negligence, a medical expert must examine the standard of treatment that a doctor would have followed under similar circumstances. The expert is then required to prove that the doctor deviated away from this standard and thereby caused the injury or death.

Maternal deaths
Every year there are between 700 and 900 women die each year as a result of complications from pregnancy or childbirth.

A recent investigation by USA Today suggests many of those deaths could have easily been avoided by better care at hospitals.
Some of the causes for maternal deaths are obstetric emergencies which can be caused by bleeding that is severe during birth or hemorrhage afterwards, and pre-existing conditions like diabetes and obesity, which affect childbirth and pregnancy. Doctors also need to monitor warning signs like high blood pressure, which could lead to preeclampsia, an extremely dangerous condition. Preeclampsia can cause premature separation from the placenta and seizures. It can also cause the life-threatening condition known as HELLP Syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits related to gynecology and obstetrics are among the most popular types of lawsuits filed in the United States. In a malpractice lawsuit the plaintiff has to prove that a healthcare provider breached an accepted standard of care and caused the plaintiff to be injured or die. The standard of care is defined by the legal community and varies from state to state. Despite the high number of malpractice cases, most of them are resolved prior to trial. Settlements are typically reached through direct negotiations between the parties and typically requires the assistance of a neutral third party, such as mediators (often retired judges or attorneys). Medical malpractice suits aren't an easy way to disqualify the practice of a physician, either.
