OB-GYN malpractice occurs when an obstetrician or a member of his or her team fails to meet the duty of care required under Arizona law. Throughout the pregnancy, there are a series of scheduled appointments that occur between the mother and her obstetrician to keep track of the development of the baby and to address any other issues that may arise during the pregnancy.
It is the obstetrician's responsibility to identify birth issues for babies and mothers and take appropriate action in response. When that responsibility is not met and the errors result in significant harm to the mother and/or her child, it can create grounds for a medical malpractice claim. These types of actions in Arizona are quite complex, and it is important that you seek the best legal advice you can find.
