Stillbirth

Cleveland, Ohio, Stillbirth Lawyer

One of life's saddest events is the stillbirth of a much-anticipated baby. Parents spend nine months watching the mother's diet, preparing the nursery for their baby’s arrival, and planning the necessary lifestyle adjustments that caring for a child will entail. Perhaps the mother has taken a leave of absence from work or quit her job, or the family has moved into a larger home.

Then comes the traumatic heartbreak of the arrival of a stillborn baby. If you think that medical negligence has resulted in your baby’s death, contact experienced Ohio stillbirth attorneys at the Cleveland law offices of Lancione & Lancione, PLL.

Possible causes of stillbirth are many, and include the following:

• Infection of the lining of the uterus
• Prenatal negligence
• Mismanaged labor
• Failure to diagnose risk factors such as an overweight mother or fetus
• Failure to recognize and take action when decreased fetal movement is observed or the overall biophysical profile of a fetus indicates that the unborn baby is not developing properly
• Placental complications
• Umbilical cord prolapse or other complications
