Fayetteville Forceps Delivery Injury Lawyer

Fayetteville Forceps Delivery Injury Attorney

Holding Hospitals Accountable For Injuries Caused By Forceps

In the event of a difficult birth or an unusually long period of labor, it may be appropriate to use forceps to assist with the delivery of the child. A difficult birth may be considered one that involves shoulder dystocia or a fetus that is in a breech position. Great care must be taken when using forceps to assist with delivery. Failure to do so could result in serious injuries to both the mother and her child.

Delivery room doctors are specially trained in the use of forceps. Patients should not have to be concerned with their own safety or the safety of the procedure. If you or your child has suffered any type of injury caused by forceps, you may have a claim for damages against the doctor, the hospital and other parties. Be sure that you seek the advice of an experienced birth injury lawyer who understands your rights and can protect them.
