About OB/GYN Expert Witnesses

Obstetrics and gynecology expert witnesses are board-certified physicians who specialize in women's reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth. Reliable Clinical Experts matches attorneys with OB/GYN specialists who evaluate birth injuries, maternal complications, cesarean section timing, and fetal monitoring interpretation.

Pregnancy and childbirth carry inherent risks, but many devastating birth injuries result from failures to recognize fetal distress, delays in performing cesarean sections, or improper delivery techniques. Reliable Clinical Experts OB/GYN experts have extensive delivery experience and understand the critical decision points in labor management — fetal heart rate interpretation, intrauterine resuscitation, cesarean section indications, and surgical technique that determine whether mothers and babies suffer permanent harm.

Reliable Clinical Experts matches your case with ob/gyn experts who combine active clinical practice with courtroom experience.

Why It Matters

Why a OB/GYN Expert Matters

Birth injury cases hinge on whether providers recognized non-reassuring fetal heart tracings, responded appropriately to obstetric emergencies, and performed deliveries skillfully. Reliable Clinical Experts OB/GYN experts interpret fetal monitor strips, explain how cesarean section delays caused hypoxic brain injury, and describe proper techniques for managing shoulder dystocia. Their testimony establishes the causation link between obstetric failures and cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries.

Common Issues We Evaluate:

Failure to recognize non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns (Category II/III)
Delayed cesarean section despite clear indications for emergent delivery
Excessive traction during delivery causing brachial plexus injury
Failure to manage shoulder dystocia with McRoberts, suprapubic pressure, or rotational maneuvers
Improper use of forceps or vacuum extractors causing fetal injury
Missed ectopic pregnancy, placental abruption, or uterine rupture

OB/GYN Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts ob/gyn expert witness services.

What fetal heart rate patterns indicate the need for emergency delivery?

Reliable Clinical Experts OB/GYN experts testify that Category III fetal heart tracings — absent variability with recurrent late or variable decelerations, bradycardia, or sinusoidal pattern — indicate significant fetal distress requiring immediate intervention. Delays in cesarean section when these patterns persist cause hypoxic brain injury and cerebral palsy. Decision-to-incision time should be 30 minutes or less in true emergencies.

How do birth injuries from shoulder dystocia occur?

Shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's anterior shoulder impacts behind the mother's pubic symphysis. Reliable Clinical Experts OB/GYN experts evaluate whether excessive lateral traction on the fetal head stretched the brachial plexus nerves, causing permanent Erb's or Klumpke's palsy. Proper management involves McRoberts positioning, suprapubic pressure, and rotational maneuvers — not excessive traction force.
