Despite all the medical expertise and technology that goes into delivering a baby and caring for it in its early days, some infants, unfortunately, develop significant foetal defects while in the womb, which makes the chances of survival highly unlikely.
In some instances of stillbirth and neonatal death, it is possible that certain failures by healthcare providers may have contributed to what happened.
Some examples of this include:
Failure to provide oxygen to a baby deprived of air during birth.
Inadequate monitoring of the baby during labour.
Missed infections in mother or child during pregnancy.
If you believe your baby was stillborn because of failures in the care you received due to the negligence of medical professionals entrusted with your care and that of your baby, you may have grounds to make a claim for compensation.
