Having an ectopic pregnancy can be a traumatic experience not only to the expectant mother, but also to her family and loved ones. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and have been given erroneous treatment, which resulted to other medical complications, you may be entitled to Ectopic Pregnancy Compensation Claims.
What are the Most Common Grounds for Compensation Claims for an Ectopic Pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy is a complicated and quite serious medical condition. Hence, it is necessary that such pregnancies are diagnosed and treated in a proper and timely manner. However, in some cases, the medical practitioner may commit negligence or error that could endanger the life of the expectant mother as well as her baby.
What are the Potential Errors in Ectopic Pregnancy Diagnosis and Treatment?
Some instances where errors in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy include:
- Failure to diagnose the common symptoms associated with ectopic pregnancy, correctly, such as vaginal bleeding, shoulder tip pains, and pain on one side of the lower abdomen.
- Failure or delay in prescribing the drug methotrexate, to prevent the egg from developing in the fallopian tube.
- Failure or delay in conducting adequate tests to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, including but not limited to pregnancy hormone tests, ultrasound scans, and adequate blood tests.
- Failure or negligence in evaluating the mother’s medical history to confirm ectopic pregnancy.
- Failure to treat post-surgery infection and other problems such as retained fluids.
- Failure to conduct other required pregnancy diagnosis and treatment.
