Birth Injury Lawyer in Lakeland

Birth Injuries and Medical Malpractice

While there are unavoidable circumstances that may lead to injury to mother or baby during childbirth, there are some situations where serious birth injuries are caused by malpractice on the part of a doctor, nurse or other medical professional involved in the delivery or postnatal care. At our Lakeland personal injury law firm, we represent clients throughout Polk County who have suffered the serious consequences of negligence in the delivery room. We handle birth injury claims and lawsuits related to delayed c-sections, medication errors, negligent postnatal care, surgical injuries, improper forceps or vacuum-assisted deliveries, shoulder dystocia and more.

These circumstances may lead to cerebral palsy, paralysis, Erb's palsy, developmental delays, mental retardation and other conditions that may affect a child for the rest of his or her life. A Lakeland birth injury lawyer at our firm can fight for justice on your behalf by holding the responsible doctor, nurse or hospital accountable.

Moving forward with a lawsuit against a negligent OB/GYN, nurse or medical facility can make all the difference in your ability to offer your child the best medical care. A child who has suffered a birth injury of any kind may require extensive medical care, physical therapy and ongoing treatment and monitoring for the rest of their life. If you are able to recover enough compensation from your settlement or jury award to cover all of your son or daughter's care, this can help ensure that there is no lapse in treatment and that they receive the best care available.
