On this page, we will explain what cord blood gas analysis is and how the results of this test can be used to determine whether the baby suffered a birth injury during delivery as a result of oxygen loss.
Umbilical cord blood gas analysis assesses the fetal metabolic state at the time umbilical circulation ceases during childbirth. Clamping the umbilical cord is a standard practice after delivery, and research has shown that this test is crucial for evaluating a newborn’s health.
This analysis helps doctors determine if the baby sustained any birth injuries during delivery by indicating whether the baby is experiencing acidosis, a condition that can signal a hypoxic-ischemic event.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than one million people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer each year. Cancer is a disease that manifests from the uncontrolled proliferation of cells that transform from normal into cancerous cells. The human immune system sometimes has the potential to eliminate cancerous cells. But cancer cells can have the ability to turn off or evade the immune system. When this happens, cancer cells can grow unchecked until diagnosed and treated.
On this page, our national medical malpractice lawyers will look at malpractice cases involving failure to diagnose or delays in diagnosing cancer. Failure to diagnose cancer is one of the most common types of medical malpractice claims in the U.S.
This page will look at what plaintiffs need to show in order to bring a successful case for failing to diagnose cancer. We will also look at the settlement value of these cases.

Hospitals can be liable for medical malpractice just like doctors. Hospital malpractice claims are somewhat different than malpractice cases against individual doctors. Our lawyers explain the basics of when a hospital can be held liable in medical malpractice cases. We will also look at the average settlement value of hospital malpractice cases.
All hospitals have a duty to adopt and follow certain policies and procedures to safeguard the health and safety of patients. This includes a wide range of obligations. Hospitals are responsible for ensuring that doctors and other professionals practicing at the hospital are licensed and qualified. Hospitals also have a duty to maintain proper policies and administrative procedures to protect patient safety and minimize medical mistakes.
This page is about medical malpractice lawsuits against chiropractors and settlement amounts and jury awards in these cases.
There are not that many chiropractor malpractice cases. Is it that chiropractors are particularly competent health care providers? No. Not at all. But chiropractic negligence usually does not result in serious injury.
Most of the chiropractic malpractice lawsuits our lawyers get calls on are negligent manipulation cases where the injury is not particularly serious by viable malpractice case standards and proof of what caused what is usually an exacerbation of a preexisting condition and is a challenge. If you have a case like this – where there is clear malpractice but the injuries are relatively minor – our firm will not help you and you will likely have a hard time finding a lawyer. That is not fair. But it is reality.
That said, there are sometimes significant claims made against chiropractors. Because they do not have the halo effect that doctors have with juries, there is a very level playing field for plaintiffs filing suit against them. Stunningly, chiropractors are trusted less in most communities than lawyers (but ahead of Congress, of course). Which really is saying something.
