Negligent Prenatal Care

Having a baby is one of life’s most joyous and memorable occasions. Unfortunately, that’s not always what happens. Whether it is failing to diagnose a pre-existing medical condition in the mother or failing to identify the correct birth defect in the baby, negligent prenatal care is an issue Gomez Law Group takes very seriously.

Medical professionals are human and they make mistakes. Nevertheless, families have a right to recover damages to address the financial and other harm they suffered because of the poor care. Any missteps can mean serious long term problems for the mother and the baby for a lifetime.

Failure to run appropriate tests to diagnose medical conditions in the mother
Failure to diagnose ectopic pregnancy
Failure to diagnose or properly manage contagious diseases
