Louisiana Gynecological Surgery Malpractice and Obstetrics Error Attorneys

More than 30 Years of Personal Injury Experience in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast Region

Not all mistakes and errors rise to the level of ob-gyn medical malpractice, but doctors practicing in the field of obstetrics and gynecology responsible for surgical or medical errors can cause catastrophic consequences to women and children and even wrongful death.

The most common OB/Gyn medical malpractice claims arise in relation to: 

  • Failure to timely or properly diagnose cancer of the breast, ovary, uterus, cervix or other cancers leading to delayed treatment and possible wrongful death;
  • Failure to timely diagnose and treat socially transmitted diseases (STDs) and other serious medical conditions which may permanently impair a woman’s fertility, reproductive health and even her life;
  • Misdiagnosis and treatment for chronic pelvic pain;
  • Unnecessary hysterectomy or surgery that could or should have been treated medically;
  • Substandard neonatal care leading to birth defects or injury to the fetus;
  • Surgical errors including bowel or other organ puncture;
  • Failure to properly treat high-risk pregnancies.

Fighting for Victims of Medical Malpractice

It is a mistake to pursue an OB/Gyn medical malpractice case without the assistance of an experienced medical malpractice attorney.  To recover damages in an OB/Gyn medical malpractice case, a patient must prove that her doctor failed to act in a manner consistent with the accepted standard of care by reasonable physicians under the same or similar circumstances. 

If you or a loved one have suffered serious injury as a result of sub-standard medical care or treatment, we may be able to help you.

We will review your case to determine whether you have a valid claim and, if you do, we can recommend the best course of action to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. A hands-on approach, working with medical experts as needed, helps our firm determine if medical malpractice occurred.  We are able to devote the resources necessary to each client’s medical malpractice case, preparing every case as if it will proceed to trial.
