Legal Help for Birth Injury from Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM)
Michigan Medical Malpractice Attorneys
Physicians are obligated to foresee and closely monitor for the premature rupture of membranes. Because the injuries resulting from PROM and PPROM are so severe, doctors must respond to membrane rupture in a timely manner. Any negligence on the part of a medical professional that results in injury to the mother or baby is considered medical malpractice.
The following incidents are examples of medical negligence:
Physician performs frequent and unnecessary cervical examinations late in the pregnancy
Medical professionals fail to induce labor when the risk of infection is greater than the risks of preterm delivery
Failure to promptly assess and test for the risk factors, causes, signs, and symptoms of premature rupture of membranes
Failure to diagnose and treat maternal or fetal conditions or infections that lead to the premature rupture of membranes
