JUSTICE FOR MOTHERS & CHILDREN INJURED BY C-SECTION ERRORS

In the United States, approximately one in three deliveries is by Cesarean section. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 1.2 million babies were delivered by Cesarean in 2016.

Some attribute this high C-section rate to defensive medicine, where doctors take extra precautions to protect their interests in the event of a medical malpractice suit. A small percentage of these C-sections (about 10%) are also completely elective, chosen by mothers who want to have more control over the birth of their children. But what happens when a C-section actually isn’t needed? What happens if a doctor makes a mistake while performing a Cesarean? The consequences can be tragic.

C-section errors can cause:

• Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)

• Cerebral palsy

• Bone fractures

• Organ perforation

• Serious bleeding

• Brain damage

• Wrongful death
