Neonatologist Medical Malpractice

Neonatologists are trained doctors who specialize in working with very young, ill patients. They are highly trained in the specialization with years of additional training that occurs after medical school in order to become Neonatologists. Not every hospital has a Neonatologist, and often if a problem is suspected before the birth, a parent will be encouraged to have the child at an appropriate hospital.

Whether the type of care needed is available at a particular hospital is an important part of physician’s jobs in attempting to anticipate the problems that may arise in a pregnancy, if signs exist that complications could arise.

Common Malpractice Claims Against Internal Medicine Doctors Neonatologists

Common claims for medical malpractice against Neonatologists include, but are not limited to:

• Failure to Properly Monitor: Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit are holding on to life by the tips of their tiny fingers. They are in constant danger and need constant supervision. A Neonatologist that fails to properly supervise his or her patients can be held responsible for that negligence.
• Failure to Diagnose Infections: Newborns who suffer from or acquire infections are at high risk for death. Failure to identify and treat these infections can lead to malpractice liability.
• Intestinal Obstructions: A common problem that premature babies face is that of intestinal obstructions. These blockages can cause severe medical defects in the newborn, or may even lead to the baby’s death. Failure to identify and properly treat this problem can lead to liability on the part of the Neonatologist.
