Birth Injuries and Medical Malpractice Claims in Florida

Every licensed doctor, nurse or other medical practitioner has an obligation to his or her patients to provide proper care, even in the face of complications or emergencies. When a doctor makes an error, is negligent or careless in his or her care, this is usually qualified as medical malpractice, and action may be able to be taken to obtain compensation for losses.

Injuries during delivery and childbirth can have various effects upon a child, including fractures, bruising and partial paralysis. Cerebral palsy has also been reported to be related to certain birth injuries. These injuries may occur due to one or more of many factors:

  • Inaccurate dating (a doctor determining the due date to be too early or too late)
  • Complications during pregnancy
  • Complications during childbirth
  • A large infant
  • An instrumental delivery (with forceps or a vacuum)

 
The statute of limitations in Florida for medical malpractice claims is 2 years. However, by consulting Gainesville birth injury lawyer Robert Whittel, we can inform you of whether you are still eligible to file a claim. It may be that even if the statute of limitations has expired that you can still file a claim, but we won’t know until we review your case.
