What causes sepsis in pregnancy, and when should I hire an attorney?

Pregnancy-related sepsis may develop from untreated infections, surgical wounds, retained tissue, infected amniotic fluid, urinary tract infections, or other serious medical conditions. If negligent medical care contributed to sepsis and a resulting death, families should consult an attorney as soon as possible.

The wrongful death of a mother during or after pregnancy is nothing short of a tragedy. In many cases, it should never have happened. Texas was recently named the worst state to give birth in, with 80-90% of the deaths in pregnant women being preventable. Additionally, Bexar County has consistently received an “F” grade for its preterm birth rate. This is unacceptable.

When hospitals, doctors, midwives, doulas, or other healthcare providers miss warning signs, delay treatment, or don’t escalate medical care, this is considered medical negligence. Families can file wrongful death lawsuits in these situations.

Our law firm is one of three locally that have multiple attorneys who are Texas board-certified in personal injury trial law. The importance of this can’t be understated. Board-certification means that your San Antonio maternal death lawyer will have the expertise and willingness to take the case to trial, if needed. This means when we negotiate with insurance companies, they take our demands seriously.

San Antonio maternal-mortality lawyer Beth Janicek has spent over 30 years representing clients in birth injury and medical malpractice lawsuits. She understands the overwhelming grief that comes with the tragic loss of a loved one, makes negligent healthcare providers acknowledge this, and is committed to securing compensation, justice, answers, and accountability.

Texas Maternal Mortality Rate – The Crisis Behind The Numbers

Maternal mortality refers to the death of a woman during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of giving birth or miscarriage. This can occur from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or management, but it excludes all accidental or incidental causes. This rate is used to measure the healthcare system’s quality and identify systemic issues.

El U.S. has one of the highest maternal mortality rates among other developed nations, and Texas has one of the highest rates among the states in recent years, with a ~33% rise in maternal mortality, post-abortion ban. The rate is 155% higher than California’s.

The most recent Maternal Mortality Rate Report for reviewed medical records indicated that 90% of Texas maternal deaths were preventable. This means 90% of families can take legal action for medical negligence.

A 2025 Texas Advisory Committee report confirmed the state continues to be among the worst for maternal outcomes. It also identified a critical gap: the committee skipped comprehensive reviews for recent years. This means maternal deaths from 2022-2023 are still not completely documented in Texas.

Year	Black Women	White Women	Hispanic Women
2024*	55.7	29.4	24.3
2023	55.0	29.0	24.0
2022	56.4	29.1	24.1

2014	68.0	28.0	16.0
2013	47.6	20.3	10.8

The racial disparities in the Texas maternal mortality rates are more concerning when you can see the trends:

Black women in Texas die from pregnancy at 2.6 times the rate of white women. Discrimination is a contributing factor in ~12% of all these deaths. A black woman with a college education faces a 60% greater risk of maternal death than a white or Hispanic woman with less than a high school education.
Infection contributes to 43% of maternal deaths in Texas Hispanic women.
The leading cause of maternal death in Texas is obstetric hemorrhage, which is widely considered a result of medical negligence.

When so many tragedies could have been prevented, the question isn’t whether something is wrong; it’s who can be held accountable. Our San Antonio maternal death attorneys investigate every angle and help families identify their legal options to seek compensation and justice.

Common Causes of Maternal Mortality in Bexar County

The most common causes of maternal death in Bexar County include the following:

Cause of Maternal Death	How Medical Negligence Contributes	Warning Signs That Were Missed or Ignored
Hemorragia post parto	The leading cause of maternal mortality in Texas. Failure to monitor blood loss, recognize hemorrhage risk factors, or intervene surgically in time	Reports of heavy bleeding
Undiagnosed preeclampsia and eclampsia complications	Failure to diagnose high blood pressure, order tests, or transfer pregnant women to a high-risk specialist. Eclampsia can lead to seizures, strokes, or organ failure.	Headaches, vision changes, swelling, and increased pressure readings
Pregnancy and postpartum infections and sepsis	Results from medical professionals’ failure to diagnose and treat infections like UTI, kidney infection, pneumonia, and chorioamnionitis during pregnancy, labor, delivery, miscarriage, or other pregnancy-related complications. Nre can lead to retained tissue, uterine, perineal wound, and C-section infections. Both are serious complications that progress to sepsis when untreated.	Fever, chills, burning while urinating, stomach or back pain, discharge odor, confusion, elevated heart rate, heavy bleeding, redness or drainage, and weakness
Desprendimiento de la placenta	Premature separation of the placenta, not promptly identified or treated, delays emergency delivery	Vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and uterine rigidity that aren’t escalated
Delayed C-section and surgery complications	Delay in delivering when emergency signs show the mother needs immediate surgical intervention.	Severe bleeding, abdominal pain, placental abruption, uterine rupture, maternal distress, or negligent response to abnormal monitoring
Blood clots and pulmonary embolism	Failure to assess DVT risk, prescribe anticoagulant prophylaxis, or recognize signs of a blood clot in postpartum care.	Leg pain, swelling, shortness of breath
Placenta accreta, increta, and percreta	Healthcare providers failing to recognize risk factors, like prior c-sections, uterine surgery or scarring, placenta previa, multiple prior pregnancies, advanced maternal age, IVF, and endometrial ablation, or prepare for high-risk or pre-existing conditions.	Symptoms include third-trimester bleeding, bladder or pelvic pain, or blood in the urine.
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE)	Amniotic fluid enters the mother’s bloodstream, triggering a reaction that can result in fatal cardiovascular conditions and postpartum hemorrhage. Immediate resuscitation is necessary.	Survival depends entirely on timely intervention.
Ectopic pregnancy	Occurs when healthcare providers miss a pregnancy implanted outside the uterus before a rupture. Ectopic pregnancy hemorrhage is nearly always survivable with a timely diagnosis.	Shoulder or pelvic pain, rising hCG with an empty uterus, or vaginal bleeding
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)	Delayed diagnosis or treatment of placental abruption, severe hemorrhage, eclampsia, sepsis, or retained placental tissue.	Severe bleeding, oozing from IV/incision sites, bruising, falling blood pressure, rapid heart rate, weakness, confusion, and more.
Ruptura uterina	Failure to monitor labor progression, excessive use of labor-inducing drugs, or not performing a timely C-section in VBAC patients.	Severe pain, shock or collapse, heavy bleeding, loss of blood pressure, signs of distress in the mother
HELLP syndrome	A life-threatening complication involving liver damage and platelet destruction. HELLP is often misdiagnosed as flu, heartburn, and anxiety.	Nausea, upper right stomach pain, and overall “not feeling well.”
Postpartum depression (PPD) and suicide	~27% of maternal deaths in Texas are due to suicide and homicide. When healthcare providers don’t screen for or treat postpartum depression, psychosis, or anxiety, they can be held responsible.	Expressed distress, hopelessness, mood changes, or concerning behavior were ignored during postpartum care, with no mental health referral made
Peripartum cardiomyopathy	A form of heart failure developing late in pregnancy or after birth. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is often mistaken as “part of being a “new mother.”	Shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, fatigue, chest discomfort, and palpitations
Gestational diabetes complications	Uncontrolled blood sugar leading to macrosomia, eclampsia, or cardiovascular events	Missed screening or failure to manage after diagnosis
Errores epidurales y otra errores de anestesia	Oxygen deprivation during epidural or general anesthesia. Medication errors in dosage, intubation failure, or not monitoring oxygen levels.	Loss of consciousness, respiratory depression, or cardiac changes during or after anesthesia administration

If a loved one’s death resulted from one of these events, a San Antonio maternal injury attorney can help your family file a medical malpractice lawsuit for wrongful death. To learn more, contact our attorneys to discuss your legal options.

Common Causes of Pregnancy-Related Deaths in Bexar County

Our San Antonio pregnancy-related death lawyers help seek justice and compensation for fatal pregnancy complications, such as the following:

Pregnancy-related complication	What Is The Pregnancy Complication?	Trimester it occurs in
Ectopic pregnancy	A pregnancy implanted outside the uterus that stops growing, doesn’t pass on its own, and causes infection, DIC, sepsis, and death. Some grow and rupture, causing death.	1
Cardiovascular conditions	Heart disease, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and undiagnosed medical conditions, where the physical demands of being pregnant kill the mother.	Any
Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome	Dangerously high blood pressure that can escalate to strokes, brain, kidney, or liver damage before childbirth.	2 (after 20 weeks)
Ataque	Bleeding in or around the brain is triggered by high blood pressure, blood clot disorders, or cerebral venous thrombosis.	Any
Blood clots and pulmonary embolism	A clot (typically in the lungs) that cuts off blood flow and oxygen. Risk rises with each trimester.	Any
Sepsis during pregnancy	Bacterial infection from a urinary tract infection, appendicitis, or chorioamnionitis that escalates to septic shock before childbirth.	Any
Placenta previa hemorrhage	Abnormal placental positioning that causes severe bleeding before childbirth.	3
Gestational diabetes complications	Unmanaged blood sugar causes cardiovascular events, severe preeclampsia, or organ failure before childbirth.	2 or 3

Why Bexar County Maternal Death Rates are Higher in Underserved Communities

In Bexar County, income, zip code, and racial disparities are documented predictors of severe complications and maternal mortality rates.

Unequal access to prenatal care in Bexar County:

In 2023, first-trimester prenatal care declined from 75% in 2019 to 60%. Geographical, age, ethnicity, and racial disparities persist across every metric. Bexar County patients in the highest-access areas are 1.7x more likely to receive first-trimester prenatal care than those in the lowest-served.

Racial disparities during pregnancy in Bexar County:

	Pregnant Black Women	Pregnant White Women
Early prenatal care	73%	84%
Early childbirth	15%	11%
Underweight babies	14%	8%

A 2024 report outlined that pregnant black women in San Antonio:

20% received less pain management,
30% reported being mistreated, and
21% received inadequate prenatal care.

Additionally, Hispanic and black women in Bexar County were less likely to have access to postpartum care.

Your race should never determine your quality of medical care. Our San Antonio maternal death lawyers can help families seek justice and compensation. For decades, our medical malpractice lawyers have fought for accountability on behalf of black and Hispanic communities, including the following areas:

Higher risk for pregnant women in lower-income areas:

62.5% of women living in high-earning zip codes are referred to a hospital by a physician, compared to 26% of those living in lower-earning ZIP codes, like 78255. This reflects a near-complete absence of an established doctor-patient relationship.

Lack of medical care in specific areas:

Adjacent counties, like Bandera County, Atascosa County, and Wilson County, are classified as maternity care deserts. Additionally, patients in Frio and Karnes counties have to drive over 30 minutes to reach obstetric care in obstetric emergencies.

When OBGYNs fail to account for travel time, our San Antonio maternal death lawyers can help your family pursue a wrongful death claim. Our medical malpractice lawyers have provided legal representation for numerous birth injuries in Cibolo, TX, for this very reason.

Failure to address symptoms leading to the deaths of pregnant women in San Antonio:

Women, in general, aren’t taken seriously in Bexar County healthcare settings. Being ignored can turn a serious medical condition into a fatality. If a physician dismissed symptoms, this isn’t just a medical error; it’s medical negligence you can sue for.

A mother’s race, paycheck, or language should never decide whether she lives, but it often does. Our San Antonio maternal death lawyer team represents clients throughout Bexar County and surrounding areas. If your loved one’s concerns were dismissed, ignored, or minimized, you hold them responsible through a wrongful death claim.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim for Maternal Death in Texas

Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act, specific surviving family members can pursue maternal death claims:

Eligible Filer	What They Can Recover
Spouse	Lost income and financial support, lost companionship, mental anguish, loss of household services
Children	Lost parental support, guidance, care, and emotional companionship
Parents of the deceased	Mental anguish and loss of companionship
Estate (through Survival Action)	Medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, conscious pain and suffering before death

If eligible surviving family members take legal action within 3 months, the estate’s personal representative can file a survival action.

If your loved one died from pregnancy or childbirth complications, contact a San Antonio maternal death lawyer to determine who can pursue a wrongful death claim. Legal representation for wrongful death in San Antonio ensures victims recover the maximum compensation available under Texas law.

Seeking Justice for Maternal Death in San Antonio – Financial Compensation Available After Fatal Pregnancies and Birth Injuries

San Antonio Maternal Death Law Firm FAQs

How long do I have to file a maternal death lawsuit in Texas?

Under Texas law § 16.003, you generally have two years from the date of death. You must also include an expert report within 120 days for medical malpractice. Exceptions include:

Child claimants have until two years after their 18th birthday to to take legal action.
If you’re suing federal facilities, like BAMC, the statute of limitations is still two years but has much more stringent requirements. If a federal agency denies an administrative claim or if 6 months pass without a decision, you have 6 months to file in federal court.

Consult a maternal mortality attorney immediately.

Can you sue for postpartum hemorrhage in Texas?

Yes, if the hemorrhage was caused or worsened by negligent care, such as untimely care, missed warning signs, poor monitoring, or anything that fell below the accepted standard of care.

Who is liable when someone commits suicide from postpartum depression?

Potentially responsible parties can include OBGYN, hospital, or other providers who didn’t screen, diagnose, or address serious signs of PPD. Responsibility depends on the specific circumstances and whether a provider’s negligence contributed.

How does heart disease affect pregnancy, and do I have a claim for wrongful death?

Cardiac disease or pregnancy-related cardiomyopathy is a life-threatening complication. If a physician doesn’t respond appropriately to warning signs and that failure results in a fatality, you may have a valid claim.

What causes sepsis in pregnancy, and when to hire an attorney?

Pregnancy-related sepsis can develop from untreated infections, C-section or delivery wounds, retained tissue, infected amniotic fluid, UTIs, or other serious medical conditions that go untreated. Sepsis is never a pre-existing condition, so you should contact a maternal mortality attorney immediately.

How do I know if my loved one's death was preventable?

80-90% of maternal mortality cases in Texas are classified as preventable. If a healthcare professional ignored chest pain, serious bleeding, or other signals, if they failed to perform surgery quickly, if there were anesthesia complications, or if the patient was discharged quickly, your loved one’s passing was likely the result of medical negligence. Our maternal mortality attorneys obtain medical records and hire qualified experts to substantiate cases for free.

Can I sue if my loved one was on Medicaid or uninsured?

Yes, you can sue regardless of insurance status. Hospitals and providers owe the same standard of care regardless of payment types. Our maternal death attorneys in San Antonio represent low-income and uninsured patients after preventable deaths.

What if a loved one died at a base or VA hospital?

Maternal deaths at BAMC, Wilford Hall, or other military facilities fall under the Federal Tort Claims Act. FTCA claims have separate requirements and much stricter statute of limitations periods. Our firm handles FTCA maternal death cases for military families and dependents.

How much does a San Antonio maternal death lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Our maternal death lawyers in San Antonio work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay anything unless we recover financial compensation.

Karen Rangel recommended us to Cassidy Muniz, and we are so thankful she did. Cassidy assisted myself, my husband, and our two daughters, and all four of us are extremely happy with the experience and outcome. Cassidy truly went above and beyond for our entire family. She was always responsive, patient, professional, and helpful, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, we had no issues, and she made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier for us. The entire team at Janicek Law is amazing, and we felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful to Karen for recommending Cassidy and especially grateful to Cassidy for everything she did for our family. We would 100% recommend Cassidy and Janicek Law to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything! ❤️

We worked with Andrew and Gaby and they were dedicated and worked hard to get us the best possible outcome. They kept us informed and updated through every step of the process, always with a friendly and very professional disposition. Despite language and distance challenges, they accommodated all of our needs, and I would highly recommend Janicek Law Firm. They made a bad situation better by listening to our concerns, helping us through a sorrowful time for my family, and advising on how to defeat our opponent. For any families that have a beloved and elderly relative who suffered in the hands of callous and neglectful medical institutions, Janicek Law Firm were amazing in advocating for our relative and making these corporate entities accountable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have started this review so many times, but every time I do, I realize there simply aren't enough words to thank the people at Janicek Law. Almost 3 years ago, my world ended. I lost my son, Zayden—the greatest love of my life. My other son, Zy, witnessed the unimaginable that day. He carries those memories with him every single day, and we are forever grateful that he is still here because we very easily could have lost him too. Our family didn't just experience a tragedy—we experienced trauma that changed us forever. When I first met the team at Janicek Law, I wasn't just grieving. I was broken. I was a mother trying to survive the unthinkable while helping my surviving son heal from something no child should ever witness. I didn't know if I had the strength to keep fighting. There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Every deposition, every conversation, every piece of evidence forced me to relive the worst day of my life. I told them I couldn't do it anymore. But they never let me forget why we were fighting. They reminded me that Zayden deserved justice. They reminded me that Zy deserved justice. They believed in my family even when I couldn't believe in myself. What makes Janicek Law different is that this was never just a job to them. They never made me feel like another client or another case number. They knew my children by name. They celebrated Zayden's life. They cried with us, prayed with us, hugged us, encouraged us, and walked beside us through every heartbreaking step. They carried a piece of this burden with us, and I will never forget that. Even after the case was over, they didn't disappear. They still answer my calls. They still help me with paperwork. They still check on me. They still make me feel like my family matters. That's something you cannot fake. That's love. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing them as "my attorneys" and started seeing them as family. And I truly believe I have a family for life. No amount of money will ever bring my little boy back. I would trade every penny to hear his laugh one more time. But because of Janicek Law, I have peace knowing that his life mattered, his story was heard, and that they fought for my boys with everything they had. From the deepest part of a mother's heart... thank you. Thank you for loving my children. Thank you for never giving up on us when I wanted to give up myself. Thank you for standing beside us through the darkest chapter of our lives. You gave my family more than legal representation—you gave us hope, dignity, and people we will love for the rest of our lives. You helped a grieving mother find the strength to be the voice her son no longer had. In a world that can feel so unfair, you reminded me that there are still genuinely good people. We love each and every one of you, and we will never forget what you did for Zayden, for Zy, and for us.❤️

Choosing Janicek Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Philip Bernal,  Cassidy Muniz, and Karen Rangel took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I always knew what to expect. Cassidy and Karen were  absolutely incredible throughout my entire case. They coordinated my medical care, helped with scheduling appointments, communicated with my insurance, and was always available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difficult time so much easier. The entire team worked hard to build my case, keeping me informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement I was very happy with. More importantly, they gave me the peace of mind to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process. I can’t thank Philip, Cassidy, Karen and everyone at Janicek Law Firm enough for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend them. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Janicek Law Firm and especially with attorney Joy Barrientes. After experiencing a serious medical malpractice case related to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect, but Joy guided me through every step with clarity, patience, and care. She took the time to explain the entire process in a way that made me feel informed and empowered. Most importantly, she fought for me and secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and compassion throughout this journey. I highly recommend Janicek Law Firm and Joy Barrientes to anyone in need of strong, thoughtful legal representation!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never been in a mva, which was the other parties fault,which totaled my car. Their insurance was less than favorable to handle my medical bills. This is where Janicek law came in to handle this difficult case being the other parties insurance was less than favorable in paying for all my needs . My case was mainly handled by Cassidy who was excellent and professional, worked hard to get me as much as possible to settle my case. I totally would recommend this law firm, I appreciate  all the work Cassidy did for me. Thank you
