Young Mother Dies Postpartum

Derrick Mills and Ty Brown resolved a case after a young woman died only twelve hours after giving birth by Caesarean section. An autopsy showed the young mother died from internal bleeding and blood loss. The case centered on the quality of medical care the young woman received from her nurses and obstetricians. There were questions about whether the nurses followed the doctor’s orders to get lab work done, and also to give blood products to the patient. There were also questions about whether the doctors were aggressive enough when the young woman’s condition worsened. Derrick was prepared to prove at trial that the young woman’s death preventable. The woman’s child, a baby boy, was healthy and survived.
