Common causes of stillbirth that may involve medical negligence include failure to monitor the baby’s vital signs, improper response to complications like umbilical cord issues, delayed diagnosis of infections or placental problems, and failure to perform a timely C-section. Medical professionals have a duty to provide adequate care during pregnancy and labor, and failure to do so can lead to tragic outcomes like stillbirth. If any of these factors played a role in your stillbirth, consulting with an attorney in Portland, OR can help determine if you have grounds for a legal claim.
