At Knapp & Roberts, we understand how medical errors during pregnancy, labor, or childbirth can turn a once joyous experience into the family's gravest moment.

We hold medical providers accountable for birthing injuries to mothers and fatalities caused by their negligence.

• Uterine rupture: Negligent administration of labor-inducing medication, such as Pitocin, can cause a uterine rupture that can result in catastrophic or fatal injuries to the mother and baby. We hold medical providers responsible for medication overdose, failure to communicate the risks of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), and failure to properly monitor a patient during labor and childbirth.
• Preeclampsia, toxemia, and HELLP syndrome: Failure to recognize symptoms and treat a pregnancy complication, such as toxemia or preeclampsia, can cause a pregnant woman to develop more serious complications, such as HELLP syndrome.
• Severe cervical lacerations (episiotomy): While an episiotomy is necessary for many women during childbirth, severe cervical lacerations can cause the woman to suffer unnecessary infections and even permanent damage. We hold providers accountable for surgical errors that result in severe cervical lacerations and for failure to perform a c-section when tests indicate the size of the baby.
• Infections: We handle medical malpractice claims involving a doctor's failure to properly treat infections during pregnancy which lead to serious injuries to the expectant mother, as well as claims involving a doctor's failure to provide adequate follow-up care after a C-section or episiotomy which leads to serious infection.

Using our extensive resources to investigate, and our network of medical experts, we strive to identify childbirth malpractice that causes birth injuries to mothers and infants or results in wrongful death. In addition to helping you obtain the compensation your family needs, we help you make a difference for future patients.
