Obstetricians and gynecologists, often shortened to OB-GYNs, are medical practitioners who provide care related to the female reproductive system, pregnancy, labor and child delivery.
OB-GYN medical malpractice refers to the failure on the part of an obstetrician or gynecologist to adhere to the accepted standard of care while providing medical care.
Any woman can become a victim of OB-GYN medical malpractice when her doctor provides negligent medical care or deviates from the standard of care.
