When High-Risk Pregnancies Lead to Medical Malpractice
The great majority of multiple pregnancies results in healthy babies. However, any pregnancy involving more than one baby — whether it involves twins, triplets or other multiples — is considered high-risk.
Because it is a high-risk pregnancy, doctors should closely monitor for potential problems. If these problems arise, they should take steps to prevent harm. Early treatment often keeps multiples healthy. Sadly, this does not always happen. Doctor error can lead to fetal injury and death.
If your twins have been harmed, it is critical to talk with an attorney about your legal options. Medical malpractice may be to blame. At the Cleveland law office of Lancione & Lancione, PLL, we represent clients throughout Ohio in medical malpractice cases.
We have the capacity to handle even the most complex birth injury cases involving serious harm, including the conditions listed below:
- Prematurity
- Umbilical cord prolapse
- Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome
- Low birth weight
- Preeclampsia
- Gestational diabetes
- Placental abruption
The more babies a mother carries, the greater the risk that she will experience complications. One of the most common complications is premature birth, which can lead to many different health concerns for infants and mother. To learn more, contact an Ohio risk of prematurity lawyer.
