Maryland Attorneys Fight for Victims of Negligent Medical Errors
Every year, more than 400,000 people reportedly die from the mistakes and negligence of medical professionals. From missed diagnoses to preventable birth injuries, medical errors leave innocent patients and families with extensive physical injuries and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. When patients place their care in the hands of a medical professional, they do so with the belief that their physicians will make professionally sound decisions and take proper measures towards a healthy outcome. This is particularly true for expectant parents, who count on medical professionals for a safe labor and delivery. When doctors and hospital staff fail to act appropriately, the skilled Baltimore medical error lawyers of Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. diligently work to obtain the compensation that harmed families need to pick up the pieces after a preventable birth injury or other life-changing medical error.

Birth Injuries as the Result of Medical Errors Many of the most common medical errors occur during the birthing process, when poor decision-making leads to the injury of the mother and/or newborn baby. We have helped families obtain compensation for birth injuries involving various medical errors, including:
Delayed C-Section
Failure to Perform C-Section
Inadequate fetal monitoring
Failure to diagnose maternal medical condition
Improper use of forceps or vacuum
Cesarean sections are a vital tool in the delivery process, providing physicians with a medical option for safely delivering a baby when labor complications arise. However, to be effective, the doctor must first recognize the need for a C-section and perform the procedure in a timely manner. Unfortunately, physicians sometimes fail to meet this duty, resulting in the serious injury or death of birthing mothers and innocent babies.
The experienced Baltimore birthing injury lawyers of Schochor, Federico and Staton, P.A. have seen the pain and suffering brought by a birthing injury. That is why we commit ourselves to holding negligent physicians accountable and obtaining justice for our clients.
