Negligent Medical Care Claims in South Florida
Obstetricians and other doctors involved in child delivery have a tremendous responsibility for providing a high standard of medical care. When they fail to meet that standard, and negligent medical care occurs as a result, trauma may be caused to infants that results in serious birth defects or even death. Parents may file claims to obtain monetary compensation to pay for medical treatment for their injured children, many of which will need care for the rest of their lives.

If you have an infant who has signs of birth injuries, defects or other trauma, and you believe those injuries were caused by medical malpractice, talk with an attorney about your options.

Common Types of Birth Defects Caused by Malpractice
Birth defects are the leading cause of death in infants and also contribute significantly to long-term disabilities in those infants. Common types of birth defects include conditions such as:
- Down syndrome
- Cleft palate and other mouth/facial defects
- Heart defects
- Musculoskeletal defects
- Stomach and intestinal defects
- Eye defects
Infants may become disabled due to a lack of oxygen during birth, the failure to perform a Cesarean section and other doctor errors. Our personal injury lawyers will represent you in claims against the parties responsible for these medical conditions.
