Did Your Florida Doctor Follow Proper Procedures During the Birth of Your Newborn?

When babies are born with brain injuries, something most likely went wrong at birth. A slip of the hand, using the wrong instrument to assist with the delivery, not acting quickly enough, or a doctor's wrong decision can change a baby's life forever. Not only does the infant suffer, but the parents of the baby also suffer.

If you are wondering if your child's birth injury in South Florida was a result of random "bad luck," or if it was caused by your labor and delivery doctor, ask yourself these questions:

• Did your doctor respond quickly to a childbirth complication?

• Did your doctor act carefully and swiftly if the umbilical cord was wrapped around your baby's neck?

• Did your doctor use a vacuum extractor or forceps to assist in the birth?

• Did your doctor order a C-section without delay if it was necessary?

• Did your doctor respond to fetal distress in a timely manner?

Once you answer these questions honestly, then you may be able to determine if the doctor who helped bring your child into the world followed the proper medical procedures. If you believe that the doctor did not follow safe and proper procedures, and your infant was injured as a result, then you should talk with an experienced Fort Lauderdale birth injury lawyer for a free evaluation of your case.
