Vaginal birth after C-section carries with it an increased risk of potential complications, including injury to both mother and child. You placed your care and that of your family in the hands of an experienced medical provider who should have offered you the support you needed to safely see that birth through. If that medical provider failed in their duty of care to you, you may have the right to compensation. A Long Island vaginal birth after cesarean delivery injury lawyer could help you evaluate the breach in your care and determine your next steps. Our birth injury attorneys are ready to prepare your claim.
A vaginal birth after c-section delivery, also known as a VBAC, carries increased risks for both mother and infant. That may include:
During delivery, medical care providers must monitor the infant and mother carefully in order to reduce those risks and ensure that they intervene in a timely manner, if needed.
When medical care providers do not provide the standard of care needed for a VBAC, including the standard of care other providers would have offered under those circumstances, it can significantly increase the risk of devastating injuries and losses. Breaches may include:
Those failures on the part of the care provider can lead to infant injury, maternal injury, and death. A Long Island attorney could help families assess what breach a care provider committed in caring for mother or infant during a VBAC delivery.
When negligence occurs in VBAC deliveries, things can go wrong quickly. The family may have the right to pursue compensation for their losses. Most of the time, that claim will go through the medical care provider’s malpractice insurance; however, some practitioners will receive their coverage through the hospital where delivery took place. A lawyer in Long Island could account for all losses in a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery injury claim.
When mother, infant, or both suffer injury during the delivery process, the family may have the right to seek compensation for their injuries. That can include compensation for increased medical expenses related to complications due to the provider’s negligence, maternal lost wages, and pain and suffering for both parties. If the infant suffers serious injuries, the claim may include the ongoing cost of care.
When physician error leads to infant or maternal mortality, the family may have the right to seek compensation for that devastating loss. Wrongful death claims include the loss of income and services performed for the family as well as compensation for the loss of that family member’s presence.
