Child Injury
Birth Injury
Neonatal Injury

Birth injuries can result from different scenarios. It can be an unavoidable accident during childbirth, or it can also be a result of negligence on the part of the physician. Brain damage resulting in cerebral palsy is one of the most common birth injuries incurred during childbirth.

Cerebral palsy is not easily detected upon birth; in fact, it can go on for months or years without being noticed. The cost of care for a child with cerebral palsy can be very expensive, considering that this condition does not improve over time. Your child has to deal with cerebral palsy for the rest of life.

You have to remember that you may be able to file a lawsuit if medical malpractice involved in any type of birth injury. Birth injuries can result from improper care given to the mother during pregnancy, so you can sue your doctor using those grounds. But before you file a lawsuit, you first have to find a lawyer who will help you in your case.

Florida No-Fault NICA

Florida has very complicated laws in this regard, including a no-fault system which often provides extremely inadequate compensation for brain injured babies.

A birth injury lawyer who is experienced in birth injury lawsuits is available for a free, confidential, consultation, today.

After finding your birth injury lawyer at our personal injury law firm, your attorney will consult birth injury experts. These are physicians who can assess your case in order to know if a certain birth injury is caused by medical negligence or malpractice. Their expert testimonies are required to establish the birth injury claim.

Of course, once you file your lawsuit, the attorneys defending the other side will also have to investigate your medical history and your child's history. They often suggest that the birth injury was not caused by medical negligence but by a congenital defect or negligent parenting.
