Fetal Distress & Birth Injuries

Contact a Beverly Hills Birth Injury Lawyer

When an infant has incurred a birth injury as a result of fetal distress in Los Angeles, parents should contact a Beverly Hills birth injury lawyer immediately.  In some cases, parents may be entitled to monetary damages if it is revealed that medical professionals acted recklessly.  In order to prove medical negligence played a role in their child being injured, parents will want to obtain help from an experienced birth injury attorney who has handled prior cases involving fetal distress and birth trauma.

About Fetal Distress and Infant Birth Injuries

Anytime an infant experiences fetal distress, physical distress that occurs when a baby is experiencing oxygen deficiency, it is cause for alarm.  It is a known fact then when infants are in distress, they may develop irreversible and life-threatening medical complications.  In some unfortunate cases, fetal distress can even result in wrongful death.

Fetal distress can be difficult for even the most experienced medical professionals to deal with and it can also be lethal.  The challenges arise when an infant is deprived of much-needed oxygen and it develops an abnormal heart beat or when the infant's heart rate is so abnormal that emergency delivery is required. 

Once an infant is in fetal distress, medical professionals will have to act carefully and quickly in order to protect the baby's life.  They may need to attach the mother and the infant to heart monitors to track the infant's heart rate and may also have to order an emergency cesarean section if the infant is not getting sufficient oxygen for a certain period of time.

If medical professionals fail to recognize the signs of fetal distress or fail to take appropriate measures, they may be accused of negligence if the infant is injured or wrongfully killed.
