Types of OBGYN malpractice
An OB or gynecologist has a legal duty to you to provide a professional level of care. If they fall short, this could potentially be considered malpractice.
Care providers can be held liable for malpractice that directly causes damage, and the mistakes an OBGYN makes often do irreparable harm. Some of the most common types of OBGYN malpractice include:
- Failure to monitor the mother or fetus
- Inadequate prenatal care
- Delaying a C-section for too long
- Negligent techniques during delivery, such as incorrect or inappropriate use of the forceps or vacuum
- Surgical errors such as leaving an instrument inside a patient or performing a surgery without informed consent
- Misdiagnosing a medical condition, such as an ectopic pregnancy or a gynecological cancer
- Medication errors
- Sterilization mistakes, such as performing a faulty tubal ligation
When these and other mistakes are made, it will become important to determine if the OBGYN who made them fell short of their legal obligations.
Gill Ports Hoste LLC can help you understand what obligations your OBGYN had and whether the treatment they provided was so negligent as to give rise to a malpractice claim.
