When mistakes are made during a C-section procedure, the consequences can be serious. Infection due to a C-section can lead to serious health issues that require urgent attention and leave lasting impacts.

Symptoms of infection may include swelling, discharge, or abscess formation at the surgical incision site. Sepsis, a severe and life-threatening condition characterized by widespread inflammation due to infection, can also be a complication of C-section infection.

Other symptoms of infection include:

• Pain or tenderness at incision site

• Fever

• Delayed healing

• Fatigue

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge

In order to sue for a C-section infection, you would need to be able to prove malpractice occurred. This involves demonstrating that the doctor, healthcare provider or hospital breached their duty of care by failing to adhere to the standard of care, and that this breach or negligence directly caused you to suffer harm or injury. This could be anything from a doctor failing to properly sterilize medical equipment, to leaving a surgical tool inside the mother’s body, to negligence in offering post-operative care.
