The Ohio OB/GYN malpractice lawyers at the Charles E. Boyk Law Offices, LLC handle Toledo gynecologist malpractice claims against OB/GYNs. OB/GYN is an acronym for Obstetrician (OB) and Gynecologist (GYN). An OB/GYN is a practitioner who specializes in both fields. Specifically, they focus in the areas of prenatal care, pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the female reproductive system. An OB/GYN also administers Pap smear tests and tests to detect cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, or urinary tract diseases.
It is important for a woman to regularly see an OB/GYN for checkups as well as when she is expecting a newborn child. However, mistakes made by the OB/GYN can be detrimental and cause serious injuries to a woman’s life, we well as the lives of her unborn children. Mistakes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer, as well as failure to properly manage pregnancy, labor, and delivery can cause serious injuries to the mother and even birth injuries to the newborn child. In these situations, the injured patient and/or her child may have an OB/GYN malpractice lawsuit.
