Florida Birth Injury Attorneys Advocating for Children and Families Nationwide
Birth injuries can happen in many ways such as a shortage of oxygen during delivery, infection, a difficult caesarean section, a complex vaginal delivery, jaundice etc. They can result in brain damage which can lead to a child being affected by cerebral palsy or global developmental delay; or Erb’s palsy as a result of shoulder dystocia, and in the process even injure you.
If you have significant concerns about the standard of care received we can help you find out what has happened and advise whether you have grounds to take legal action.
We can help with a range of birth injury claims, including:
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy stems from oxygen deprivation during birth, affecting a child's motor function, muscle control, and coordination throughout their life.
Shoulder Dystocia
Shoulder dystocia, a birth complication where a baby's shoulders get stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone, can lead to nerve injuries like brachial plexus damage.
Erb's Palsy
Erb's Palsy is a birth injury caused by damage to the brachial plexus nerves, often during delivery. This condition results in weakness or paralysis of the affected arm, impacting a child's ability to move and use their arm effectively.
Perinatal Asphyxia
Perinatal asphyxia occurs when the baby is deprived of oxygen before, during, or after birth, causing organ damage, particularly to the brain, and resulting in long-term developmental issues.
Brachial Plexus Injuries
Caused by nerve damage during delivery, Brachial Plexus injuries lead to conditions like Erb's Palsy, impacting a child's ability to use their affected arm.
Maternal Complications
Maternal complications during childbirth can encompass a range of issues, from excessive bleeding and infections to high blood pressure or emergency situations like uterine rupture.

Identical twins, were delivered by Caesarean section Due to high risk nature of the pregnancy she had been admitted in July to the high risk level 3 maternal fetal ward. After the decision was made to deliver the twins via C-section, the mother had to wait several hours for an operating room to be available. One twin was born with cerebral palsy and the other died eight days earlier in utero from an umbilical cord accident.
Total Award $4,000,000
Plaintiff presented herself for delivery at the Birth Center, but after unsuccessful attempts, she was transferred to a Hospital and Clinics where her stillborn baby was delivered via vacuum extraction. The plaintiffs claimed that risky medications were administered to induce labor, leading to complications such as hyperextension of the uterus and fecal infection. The plaintiffs' expert opined that these medications contributed to the baby's death, and that proper medical care was delayed, which resulted in the child's demise.
Total Award $4,095,000
On July 22, 2015, decedent died following complications from a Caesarean delivery. During her pregnancy, plaintiff suffered placenta previa: abnormal development and positioning of the placenta. She and her family were told about the condition. Placenta previa is a known risk factor for placenta accreta: a condition in which the placenta attaches too deeply to the uterine wall. It was later determined that she had the most severe form of placenta accreta, placenta percreta. However, her family claimed that she was not notified about placenta percreta, that the doctors failed to prepare for a delivery involving this condition, and that resultant complications led to death. Defendants later admitted liability.
Maternal Death
Plaintiff went into labor on Aug. 27, 2014. She was checked into the hospital at 7:30 p.m. that evening and was hooked up to a fetal heart monitor. Initially, the heart rate was normal. However, soon thereafter, the heart rate was interpreted as category 2 indicating an abnormality. The tracings subsequently deteriorated to category 3 status which indicated an emergency. Given the high risk nature of the pregnancy the doctor was negligent by failing to induce labor earlier or perform a scheduled C-section.
Total Award $6,584,674
