One of the greatest joys a person can have is bringing a child into the world. It is expected for a mother and baby to have the safest conditions to ensure a healthy and loving delivery. Unfortunately, medical professionals do not always provide the appropriate care or resources to families that are welcoming a baby. This can lead to health issues for mother and child as well as trauma. If you or a loved one have suffered from damages caused by obstetric or gynecologic errors, contact one of our OB-GYN malpractice attorneys at Gallardo Law Firm today.
Malpractice typically involves a healthcare professional failing to provide a patient with the expected and agreed-upon standard of care.

In an Obstetric and Gynecologic practice, you must receive the best possible care from all the staff involved. This includes all of the nurses and doctors taking care of you. In a delivery, anyone, such as the anesthesiologists, surgeons, and others, can also be held liable if they make an error relating to the baby's health or you. In a medical malpractice case, your attorney must gather evidence to prove that the negligent party was liable for your injuries and damages.

However, mistakes made by these healthcare professionals can lead to significant injuries or damage. Each year, thousands of women suffer due to such errors. In some cases, these injuries can have devastating consequences for newborns, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or even death.
