Discover what could shift the outcome of your case.
Too often, the medical record is taken at face value. But what's documented isn't always what really happened.
At MD Experts, we dig deeper—beyond the chart—to uncover what was altered, delayed, or never documented at all.
- 1Did someone modify the chart after the patient coded?
- 2Were entries made hours after the event?
- 3How many times was the chart accessed before anything was documented on the record?
Specialized OB/GYN Expertise
Obstetrics and gynecology account for an estimated 25% of all medical malpractice claims, underscoring the high-risk nature of childbirth and related medical care. Nearly 48% of birth injury lawsuits involve brain injuries like HIE or cerebral palsy, often tied to oxygen deprivation during labor.
In these cases, the fetal heart rate strip is the clearest record of how the baby was tolerating labor—and whether warning signs were missed.
