Birth Injury

A healthy baby is a blessing that millions of parents will not get the chance to experience. Every year, medical mistakes by doctors and nurses cause countless injuries to newborns during the labor and delivery process. The Miami birth injury attorneys at The Cochran Firm South Florida know how to investigate and prove medical negligence, and we have won millions of dollars in compensation for families of seriously injured children in Miami, Fort Myers, Ft Lauderdale, and throughout South Florida. If you suspect your baby’s injuries were preventable, simply contact our birth injury lawyers for important legal guidance.

Types of Florida Birth Injuries

We trust that OB-GYN physicians and childbirth nurses will act according to the accepted standards of care. But when a medical professional ignores accepted protocol and makes a wrong decision, it can cause life-altering birth injuries such as:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb’s palsy
  • Brain damage
  • Internal injuries
  • Meningitis and other infections
  • Intracranial bleeding
  • Broken bones
  • Fractures
  • Spinal cord damage

Our South Florida birth injury lawyers also handle cases where the wrong type of delivery was ordered, a delay in diagnosis of a malignancy or other condition caused permanent damage, or a neonatal staff member mishandled or mistreated a newborn. In birth injury cases, there may be several defendants that are charged with causing undue injury, including physicians, nurses, hospitals, birthing centers, midwives, and others involved in the birthing process.

Parents’ Rights to Compensation

Our birth injury attorneys at The Cochran Firm South Florida represent victims of all types of birth injury in Miami, Fort Myers, Ft Lauderdale, and throughout all of South Florida with compassionate legal guidance and a dedication to defending the rights of your cherished child. We know how expensive ongoing care can be for a young child, and we promise to fight with all our resources to get your family a compensation amount that is sufficient. A large settlement cannot undo the pain and heartache you have undergone as parents of an injured baby, but it can help you afford the best care and provide for your little one properly.

The birth injury lawyers at The Cochran Firm South Florida are proud to stand up for innocent children in Ft Lauderdale, Fort Myers, and Miami who were harmed by careless medical professionals.
