Forceps Delivery

Forceps are instruments that are used by medical professionals during delivery to assist with pulling a newborn through the birth canal. They must be used at appropriate times and in accordance with established and accepted medical protocol.  If the physician departs from these standards of care and causes injury as a result of their negligence, they can be held liable for the damages their victims suffer.

A physician’s negligence can result in a life sentence of difficulty for you and your child.  The emotional and financial burdens that victims of malpractice and their families might face can be substantial. Quite often, victims of brain injuries require lifelong medical care, nursing care, special needs accommodations, housing disability, transportation, special education, medicines, medical equipment, special caregivers and aides.
