Los Angeles OBGYN Malpractice Lawyer

When it comes to obstetrics and gynecology, patients place immense trust in their doctors. From routine checkups to pregnancy, labor, and delivery, women rely on their OBGYNs (obstetrics and gynecology doctor) to provide competent, compassionate care. But when an OBGYN fails to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be life-altering – or even fatal. If you or your baby suffered harm due to the negligence of an OBGYN, you may have the right to file a medical malpractice claim.

Common Types of OBGYN Malpractice

OBGYN malpractice can take many forms, including errors during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum care. Some of the most common examples include:

  • Failure to diagnose preeclampsia or gestational diabetes
  • Delayed C-section leading to birth injuries
  • Mismanagement of high-risk pregnancies
  • Failure to monitor fetal distress
  • Surgical errors during C-sections or hysterectomies
  • Negligent use of forceps or vacuum extraction
  • Improper prenatal care or missed diagnoses
  • Failure to recognize or treat infections

These mistakes can lead to devastating outcomes such as brain damage, cerebral palsy, paralysis, uterine rupture, or even maternal or infant death.

Understanding Your Legal Rights

To succeed in an OBGYN malpractice case, you must prove that the doctor failed to meet the accepted standard of care and that this negligence directly caused harm. These cases often require testimony from medical experts, thorough review of medical records, and a deep understanding of both legal and medical standards.

That’s why it’s critical to work with a law firm that focuses exclusively on medical malpractice. Many attorneys may accept OBGYN cases but lack the experience necessary to identify key issues, counter expert witnesses, and secure maximum compensation.

Ask any Los Angeles OBGYN malpractice attorney you consult:

  • How many OBGYN malpractice cases have you tried to a jury – and won?
  • When was your last verdict or settlement in such a case?
  • Do you regularly handle complex birth injury or surgical negligence claims?
