Medical professionals undergo years of training to learn how to safely deliver a baby. Part of that training is learning how to properly use forceps and vacuum extractors to remove a baby from inside the mother.
Such devices can be critical, life-saving tools in an emergency. There are many situations in which doctors use this type of technology to deliver a baby, especially if the baby becomes stuck inside the mother during the delivery.
However, these devices can be dangerous. If doctors or other medical professionals don’t use them properly, severe birth injuries can occur. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced birth injury lawyer on your side. That’s why you need Jeffrey M. Goldberg Law Offices. We can investigate your birth injury and make sure your rights are respected.
It is important to note that not every use of forceps and vacuum devices constitutes medical malpractice. Even serious injuries resulting from the use of these devices does not necessarily indicate medical negligence. In fact, there are situations in which the use of this type of technology was the only choice a doctor had.
We have to look deeper to determine whether an instance of child injury is a result of medical malpractice. In conjunction with our medical consultants, we know how to review the medical records and other evidence to determine whether negligence was a factor.
