  • Yes. If a doctor makes a mistake that other reasonably and similarly trained doctors would not have made, it will still be considered as malpractice. The fact that it was an emergency does not mean that the doctor was exempt from performing his duties competently and keeping you safe. You can therefore file for compensation for your injuries and damages.

    Contact van der Veen, Hartshorn and Levin to consult with an experienced C-section injury attorney in Philadelphia, PA, and learn whether you have a case. We will evaluate the circumstances of your C-section and advise you on your rights and the options available to you.

  • There are instances where it is difficult to tell if you have suffered an injury as a result of medical malpractice while there are instances where the injury is quite clear. If you suspect that something may be wrong but aren’t sure, you should seek a second medical opinion. You should also make an appointment to consult with an experienced Philadelphia C-section injury lawyer from van der Veen, Hartshorn and Levin. We will review your medical records and investigate the circumstances of your C-section to find out what happened. We work with experts in various fields.

  • Yes. One of the most common forms of obstetric malpractice involves failing to perform a C-section when clear signs of fetal distress or maternal risk are present. Doctors are required to monitor vital signs, track labor progression, and identify complications such as abnormal fetal positioning, stalled labor, or issues with the umbilical cord. When they overlook these warning signs or delay necessary action, both mother and baby may suffer preventable injuries. An attorney can help determine whether the delay constitutes negligence.

  • Compensation may include medical expenses, costs of future care, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and long term disability. In cases involving severe birth injuries, families may also recover compensation for lifelong medical needs, therapy, home modifications, and assistive devices. If the negligence resulted in a fatality, wrongful death damages may also be available. A C-section injury attorney can evaluate the full scope of your losses and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
