FAQ

What Are Some Common Birth Injuries?

Common birth injuries include brachial plexus injuries, cerebral palsy, facial nerve injuries, fractures, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and cephalohematoma. If a loved one has suffered any of these injuries, contact us today to find out if you may be able to hold the other party accountable.

How Can Negligence Contribute to Birth Injuries?

Negligence is, unfortunately, one of the key causes of injuries during childbirth. It may involve improper monitoring, delayed intervention, misuse of medical instruments, failure to recognize signs of distress, or anything else along those lines.

When Should I Hire a Birth Injury Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a birth injury lawyer if you suspect medical negligence played a role in your child's injury. At Morgan and Morgan, we will review your case for free if you contact us today.

What Damages Can I Seek After a Birth Injury?

It all depends on the specifics of your case. That said, you can seek compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, and other related costs. An experienced birth injury lawyer from Morgan and Morgan can help you assess your specific situation and determine the damages you may be able to recover.

What if the Birth Injury Happened a Long Time Ago?

If the birth injury occurred a long time ago, you may still have legal options. In Florida, for example, you have two years from the date of the birth injury to file a claim, but this deadline may also be extended depending on the unique circumstances of your case, especially if the injury was not apparent until later in life.
