Birth Injury Attorneys - Fetal Distress

in Denver and Aurora, Colorado

Fetal distress is commonly caused by deprivation of oxygen (hypoxia). If untreated, hypoxia can lead to permanent damage or death. Often the fetus must be delivered immediately if there is to be any hope for survival.

Fetal distress alone may not be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. But if fetal distress is not properly diagnosed or treated, that may be a case of medical malpractice in birth injury.

Fetal distress tests include:

• External fetal monitoring
• Non-stress test
• Contraction stress test

If these are not properly administered, or if the results are not properly interpreted and hypoxia occurs, it may be your doctor's fault. A Colorado birth injury attorney at The Brake Law Firm can help determine if you have a valid case.

Any damage to your unborn baby is traumatic. If that damage turns out to have been preventable, you may have a valid claim. We at the Brake Law Firm have a thorough understanding of the medical issues surrounding a fetal distress lawsuit - contact us today, anywhere in Colorado for a consultation.
