It is estimated that three percent (three out of 100) of children are afflicted by a birth injury. These often have long lasting and damaging effects, something that is especially the case with injuries to the head or brain.
Florida brain injuries at birth are a type of
Florida birth injury. It can result in a physical disability, mental and emotional difficulties, and general suffering. In serious cases, it can result in loss of life.
There are many possible causes of
Florida brain injuries at birth, stemming from trauma or a lack of oxygen. Some of these are natural, which include:
- Tangling of the umbilical cord
- An unusually large baby
- Child getting stuck in birth canal
- Child getting turned around or sideways
However, other causes of this type of
Florida birth injury can be traced to negligent medical professionals. These include:
- Miscalculation of the size of a child
- Overuse of force during delivery
- Misuse of tools such as forceps
- Waiting too long to perform a C-Section
If your family has been victimized by a Florida birth injury that was caused by negligent doctors or nurses, you may have a medical malpractice suit against them. You may be able to earn financial compensation for your child or the loss of your baby.
