Birth defects

These may include issues related to birth defects, like lips that are missing or cleft, or congenital heart diseases and muscular dystrophy. If negligence by a doctor during pregnancy or delivery resulted in these conditions, you may be able to file a malpractice claim.
Birth problems can be caused by many different causes, such as exposure to toxic chemicals or prescription drugs in addition to environmental factors and issues with prenatal care. The doctor's responsibility to ensure the health and well-being of mother and fetus involves performing appropriate screening tests, identifying and treating anomalies during pregnancy and conducting the appropriate screening tests.
Medical experts will need to determine whether a doctor's negligence in the diagnosis or treatment of the condition was negligent and led to serious injury. To prove negligence, a medical professional must examine the standard of care that a physician would have followed in the same situation. The expert then has to show that the doctor's actions were deviant from this standard and caused the injury or death.

Additionally, you should take photographs of the injuries that your child received to show how severe they were.
Maternal deaths

A settlement is usually reached through direct negotiations between parties and often involves the assistance of an impartial third party like a mediator (often retired judges or lawyers). Medical malpractice lawsuits are not the only way to disqualify a doctor from practicing immediately.
Injuries that result from surgery
Medical advances have drastically reduced the likelihood of adverse outcomes during surgery, but they are still possible. When they do happen, they tend to result in serious injuries. These injuries aren't only uncomfortable and painful, but they can cause costly corrective surgeries, high medical costs and extended recovery times or even death.

Surgery that is performed on the wrong site, meaning the surgeon operates on another body part than intended leaving a scalpel sponge or other piece inside the body of a patient puncturing or nicking an organ or nerve; infections caused by unclean or sanitized equipment; and many more.

Wrongful death
Losing a loved one can be very stressful, but when the death is caused by the negligence of someone else it can be incredibly painful. Depending on state law you may be able to bring a claim against the person to recover damages for your loss.

For instance, the husband of Joan's, died of a lung cancer that was not seen by an x-ray. The doctor who did not follow up on his patient's symptoms or perform an MRI after the patient complained of breathing problems was responsible for his death. The resulting delay in treatment allowed the tumor to expand and cause irreparable damage.
