Babies in Pompano Beach, FL Can Suffer Serious Injuries At or During Birth

The complex nature of pregnancy and childbirth can make it difficult for parents to know if their child’s injuries are a birth defect or whether they were simply unavoidable. Birth injuries often occur during delivery, but some injuries can develop during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Any professional neglect during these stages can jeopardize maternal and fetal health.

While not every injury is proof of negligence, here are some potential injuries and conditions that our team can handle:

• Cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy
• Injuries caused by umbilical cord complications
• Forceps and vacuum injuries
• Birth asphyxia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
• Periventricular leukomalacia
• Kernicterus
• Cephalohematoma
• Retinopathy of prematurity
• Preeclampsia

These and other injuries can have multiple effects on your child’s health and future. Although some babies make a full recovery, others can face a wide spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional impairments.

How Do Birth Injuries Happen?

One important step in a birth injury case is reviewing the actions a provider did or did not take. We must examine the provider’s choices and show that they somehow failed their professional duty and caused your child’s harm. When helping clients, our lawyers often see birth injuries caused by:

• Issues during labor and delivery, such as delayed C-sections or improper use of birth tools
• Misdiagnoses or failures to diagnose a baby’s injury or illness
• Delays in treating a baby’s condition
• Communication errors between providers or other parties
• Improper discharges from a hospital or emergency room

Whatever the cause of your child’s harm, our team will make sure to investigate your claim and identify all liable parties.

Seeking damages is about more than money, especially with victims as vulnerable as newborns. Taking legal action helps hold healthcare professionals and their employers accountable for serious harm and can even prevent future victims. While many of your family’s losses go beyond the financial, those responsible must still be held accountable for the full extent of your hardship.

Our Pompano Beach attorneys carefully review all forms of evidence and investigate your baby’s injuries to make sure we account for all of your losses. Some of the potential damages we could pursue include:

• Current medical bills
• Future medical expenses
• Pain and suffering for you and your baby
• Emotional distress
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Travel expenses related to your child’s medical care
• Future educational and accessibility needs
• In-home care

Make sure to keep all receipts, invoices, records, and statements related to your child’s injuries and your family’s expenses. You can also keep notes about your baby and your family’s emotional state during this time to demonstrate the intangible effects on your household. These and other forms of evidence help us prove that your family has suffered losses in multiple ways.
