Childbirth is a natural, but far from straightforward, process. Complications during labor and delivery can pose serious risks to both the mother and child, and when a healthcare provider’s negligence contributes to those complications, families may face life-altering consequences. Many of these dangers are not the fault of the doctor or other personnel, but these professionals are expected to know how to deal with common problems. Sometimes their failure constitutes malpractice. Contact a Houston obstetrical complications lawyer from Davis & Davis today to learn more about how our legal team can help.
When obstetrical complications arise from medical negligence, families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our Houston birth injury attorneys have the knowledge and resources to investigate what went wrong during your delivery and hold the responsible parties accountable.

How Are Obstetrical Complications Monitored?
The condition of the mother and the child is by definition changing and needs to be constantly monitored. The mother’s blood pressure and other vital signs need to be monitored to quickly respond to and treat preeclampsia, hypertension, and other problems. Postpartum hemorrhage is a life-threatening possibility referring to a severe loss of blood, and failure to properly monitor for this condition may constitute medical negligence. Other problems resulting from obstetrician malpractice include:
- Toxemia, also known as preeclampsia
- Vaginal breech delivery
- Cesarean (“C-section”) complications
- Postpartum hemorrhage
- Uterine rupture
- Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)
- Preeclampsia and eclampsia
- Clotting abnormalities
- Brain damage caused to a baby by forceps delivery
- Erb’s palsy (arm weakness or paralysis)
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication errors
