Frequently Asked Questions
When is a newborn infection considered medical malpractice?
A newborn infection can be classified as medical malpractice when healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care expected during the delivery or postnatal period, resulting in preventable harm or death. This could involve failing to diagnose or treat an infection in a timely or adequate manner, causing unnecessary suffering for the newborn and their family.
How Does Gluckstein Establish Negligence in a Newborn Infection Medical Malpractice Case?
Our birth injury lawyers take a meticulous, step-by-step approach to determine whether a newborn infection qualifies as medical malpractice:
- Reviewing Medical Records
Our legal team secures and assesses the relevant medical records, analyzing the care provided during birth and postnatal treatment. This helps uncover any lapses in diagnosis or treatment protocols, such as missed tests or delayed interventions.
- Consulting with Medical Experts
Medical experts are brought in to evaluate whether the healthcare provider’s actions—or lack thereof—fell below the standard of care. These professionals help identify whether proper medical precautions were neglected, like monitoring signs of infection or prescribing appropriate antibiotics.
- Establishing a Link Between Negligence and Harm
The next step involves demonstrating how the provider’s failure directly led to the newborn’s infection or complications. This essential connection helps establish that the harm was preventable and occurred due to negligence.
If negligence is evident and it caused injury, infection, or complications, the case may qualify as medical malpractice. Contact us today to discuss your case and see how we can help.
