Attorneys Working to Improve the Medical Response to Uterine Ruptures in Ohio
Uterine rupture is a potentially devastating complication that almost always occurs during labor. Although the consequences of uterine rupture may be severe and life-threatening, the initial symptoms — including abdominal pain, bleeding during childbirth and changes in fetal heart monitor tracing — can be subtle and easily confused with less serious conditions.
In order to provide the appropriate standard of care during delivery, doctors must follow the rules of differential diagnosis, a process by which the most serious conditions — like uterine rupture — are ruled out. If a doctor ignores symptoms or risk factors such as prior C-section or other uterine surgery or potential uterine hyperstimulation from excessive or inappropriate use of pitocin, and a uterine rupture causes harm to mother or child, medical malpractice may have occurred.
If you or a loved one suffered due to the negligent treatment of uterine rupture or another catastrophic event during childbirth, it is in your best interest to discuss your case with an experienced medical malpractice attorney. You deserve honest answers and sound legal guidance.
