- Failure to treat jaundice properly
- Emergency room C-section problems
- X-rays on newborns or other medical care that caused problems
- Birth trauma that resulted in cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy or shoulder dystocia
- Severe complications to the mother during the birth that went unchecked
- Lack of monitoring the heart rate of either mother or child
- Stillbirth that could have been prevented
Mr. Lapidus has practiced as a birth injury lawyer for more than 30 years, in Prince George's County and Washington, DC. He has achieved a number of million dollar verdicts and six figure settlements and verdicts for his clients.
Some of the signs that there may be something wrong:
- Repeated urinary tract infections during the pregnancy
- Very high blood pressure of the mother, resulting in undiagnosed preeclampsia
- Water breaks prematurely
- Labor progressing too long after the water breaks
- Dropping fetal heart rate
Doctor’s actions can cause brain or limb damage to an otherwise healthy baby. Lawyers can help hold them accountable, so it will not happen again.
