Florida Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Do I have a Florida Medical Malpractice Birth Injury Case?

Birth injuries are injuries sustained by infants during the childbirth process or shortly after birth. These injuries can range from mild to severe, and their causes can vary. In some cases, birth injuries may result from natural complications that are beyond the control of healthcare professionals. In other instances, however, medical malpractice may be to blame for preventable injuries.

Medical malpractice in the context of birth injuries occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the standard of care expected in obstetric procedures. This could include errors made during prenatal care, labor and delivery, or postnatal care. Common instances of medical malpractice leading to birth injuries include:
  • Failure to monitor fetal distress adequately.
  • Delayed or incorrect diagnosis of maternal conditions, such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes.
  • Improper use of delivery instruments like forceps or vacuum extractors.
  • Negligent handling of complications during childbirth, such as shoulder dystocia or umbilical cord entrapment.
  • Failure to order a timely caesarean section when it is medically necessary.​

Compensation for Birth Injury Claims
Birth injuries can lead to significant financial burdens for families, including medical expenses, ongoing therapy costs, specialized education, and long-term care needs. In Florida, families affected by birth injuries have the right to seek compensation through a medical malpractice lawsuit. Recoverable damages may include: medical expenses, cost of assistive devices and medical equipment, long-term care expenses and in-home care services, pain and suffering endured by the child and their family, and loss of future earning capacity if the child's injuries lead to permanent disabilities.
