How The Unthinkable Can Happen

Child death, infant death, and stillbirth can be linked to medical malpractice or negligence due to a variety of factors. Medical malpractice occurs when healthcare providers fail to meet the established standard of care, leading to harm or injury that could have been prevented.

Some common reasons why these tragic outcomes might be attributed to medical negligence include:

• failure to monitor fetal distress
• inadequate prenatal care
• improper use of delivery tools
• delayed cesarean section
• medication errors
• poor communication among medical staff
