A doctor or hospital that fails to provide reasonable and acceptable care to a delivering mother and her infant may be liable under Florida’s Medical Malpractice Act for birth injuries to the child and for injury, physical or mental, to the mother. Common delivery issues include shoulder dystocia, oxygen deprivation, cerebral palsy and injury or death caused by failure to perform a timely C-section (Caesarian). Cases where children are injured require careful evaluation of the child and the family’s lifetime needs. Contact Jay Cooper for an evaluation of your birth injury claim.
