Maryland Malpractice: Pregnancy Errors

Information for malpractice attorneys and victims in Maryland

      Missed diagnosis of medical conditions during pregnancy such as gestational diabetes, hypoglycemia, pre-eclampsia, anemia and Rh-incompatibility, among others, have serious implications for the mother and her unborn child. Unfortunately in most cases, symptoms are not characteristic of any one given condition which complicates diagnosis. Further complicating diagnosis, some diseases do not have specific biomarkers that can be measured, or have numerous ones that are not necessarily indicated by standard tests due to availability or high costs associated with the tests. Malpractice lawyers looking at these cases have a great deal to sort through to pin down the science and the medical experts as to what likely was the cause of any injury to the child or the mother. However, in spite of these limitations, the scientific community continues to research complications arising during pregnancy with an end goal of providing tools to aid in the health of the mother and unborn child and further enhance pre-natal care.
