$700,000 Settlement – Failure to Diagnose Birth Injury Wrongful Death

A new mother lost her life following childbirth after experiencing postpartum hemorrhage and suffering from an amniotic fluid embolism.

In rendering their care and treatment of the patient, the physicians and a Chicago-area hospital failed properly and timely to recognize, diagnose, and treat the symptoms of amniotic fluid embolism; to properly monitor the patient’s postpartum condition; to properly communicate the patient’s medical care needs; to properly hand-off the medical care of the patient, and more which denied the patient from receiving the appropriate medical care.
