Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Considered a Birth Injury?
A birth injury refers to any damage or harm to a child before, during, or shortly after birth. These injuries often result from complications in the delivery process, medical malpractice, or negligence. They can range from minor injuries that heal over time to more severe conditions that require long-term medical care or have permanent effects. Understanding the specifics of a birth injury lawsuit is essential, as cases rely on proving negligence or deviation from standard medical care practices.
Birth injuries may manifest as physical or neurological damage, including conditions like cerebral palsy, fractures, or brain injuries. Identifying these conditions early can affect the legal approach and potential outcomes. Our attorneys are dedicated to exploring every aspect of your child’s diagnosis to build a comprehensive case that addresses both current and future impacts.
How Do I Know If a Birth Injury Was Due to Medical Malpractice?
Determining medical malpractice involves assessing if healthcare providers failed to meet the accepted standard of care. This requires a thorough investigation, often with the aid of medical experts, to review the circumstances of the birth and identify errors or omissions in care that contributed to the injury. As experienced birth injury lawyers in Broward County, we help by analyzing medical records, consulting with experts, and building a case to establish liability.
Our in-depth understanding of medical protocols, coupled with our strategic alliances with renowned medical professionals, enhances our ability to pinpoint negligence. We provide a detailed and methodical review of your case, clarifying how errors may have occurred and substantiating these claims with solid evidence. This method not only aids in legal proceedings but also provides clients with a clearer understanding of what went wrong and reinforces their fight for justice.
What Compensation Can Be Recovered in a Birth Injury Case?
The compensation in birth injury cases varies based on the severity of the injury and its impact on the child's life. Potential compensation may include medical expenses, costs for ongoing care, pain and suffering, loss of future earnings, and more. Our priority is to fight for comprehensive recovery to ensure your child receives the necessary care and quality of life improvements.
Beyond immediate medical expenses, compensation may also cover therapies, educational aids, and home modifications needed to accommodate the child’s future needs. Our approach emphasizes thorough research and expert testimony to quantify the holistic impact of the injury, ensuring that every aspect of the child’s and family’s lives affected by the injury is considered.
Our track record of securing substantive settlements illustrates our commitment to our clients. We proactively engage insurance companies and opposing counsel in negotiations to maximize your compensation, while always being prepared to escalate matters to court if necessary.
How Long Do I Have to File a Birth Injury Claim in Florida?
Florida law typically allows two years from the date of the injury to file a medical malpractice or birth injury claim, a period known as the statute of limitations. However, exceptions exist, especially for injuries not immediately apparent. It is crucial to consult a skilled attorney promptly to ensure you meet these deadlines and preserve your right to seek compensation.
Timing is crucial, as any delay can jeopardize the viability of your claim. Our team is diligent in assessing your situation, advising on timelines, and commencing necessary legal actions swiftly to safeguard your legal rights.

"Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, & was straightforward with all detail!"When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case. Leading up to the decision Lori kept in contact, showed empathy, and was straightforward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own doctors or the hospital did. I have closure because of HER! So I still won! My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her! She speaks to you as if she knew you forever! I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, they listen, and they put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!- Adrian W.

"I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, & 'got my back' attitude."From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.- Joel F.

"Jeff & David are very compassionate, kind & won't let you down."I never thought that anything would ever happen to me that would lead me to post a review about this law office. Unfortunately, I was wrong and what happened was completely unimaginable so much so that police didn’t believe it at first. I was so confused and lost because it seemed that no one believed me. I googled malpractice in Florida and this was one of the offices that popped up. I called and spoke with Lori, the paralegal, and told her everything she believed me and Jeff and David did too. Due to what happened this wasn’t going to just be a civil lawsuit but a criminal one as well. They were a huge help in working with the police to get items that would prove my criminal case and would lead to felony arrest and jail time. They were there to talk to me all throughout the criminal case. Especially, Lori she truly cared and when I was all alone feeling that I wasn’t strong enough to get through this she was always there with good and caring advice. I was with this law firm for the past 3 years and Jeff and David are very compassionate and kind. From the attorneys to the paralegal they worked very hard and did so much that they have changed my life. If you are looking for an attorney office with experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate staff. I promise they won’t let you down.- Tiffany S.
