Birth injuries do occur in Los Angeles and are not unlikely to be heard about in the local news. Medical Malpractice lawsuits are filed probably everyday in the state of California, and most are legitimate claims by families of people who have suffered major injuries as the result negligence by hospital staff or surgeons performing routine surgeries. Amongst these medical malpractice lawsuits can be found many which involve the wrongful death of a woman during labor, or even the death of her child because of under estimation on the part of the physician.
Think with me about a young mother pregnant with twins who goes into labor late one spring night. She is taken to the hospital by her husband for a normal routine birth of their twin daughters. Somewhere in the process and administration of the epidural the mother receives too much medication and goes into shock. Her body could not handle the amount of medication given to her and she went into a coma. The doctors had to finish the birth of the twins by C-section and care for her mother immediately.
The woman was in a coma for a year before she finally died as the result of negligence on the hospitals part to monitor the appropriate amount of numbing medication for birth. Her family suffered the loss of a mother, a sister, a wife and a friend. Her twin daughters never met their mother and grew up in a one parent home. The family filed a wrongful death / malpractice suit against the hospital and was awarded significant compensation for their loss, but this could never change the damages done to their family and to their mental and emotional state of mind.
Birth injuries are no light matter and devastating to the families of the baby or mother who suffer serious or fatal injuries during the birth process.
