Understanding Birth Injuries & Negligence

Understanding birth injuries and medical negligence can feel overwhelming, especially when families are already dealing with uncertainty and stress. A birth injury refers to harm a baby suffers just before, during, or shortly after delivery, and while some injuries are temporary, others can cause lasting disabilities that affect movement, learning, and daily life.

Serious birth injuries may include brain injuries from lack of oxygen, cerebral palsy, erb's palsy, fractures, or complications from untreated jaundice or infection. In some cases, the harm may be linked to perinatal hypoxia, which can occur when a baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen during labor or delivery. Not every difficult delivery is malpractice, but preventable mistakes can cause or worsen these injuries through missed warning signs, failure to recognize fetal distress, poor communication among providers, or the misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious maternal or newborn complications.

Common situations that may justify a closer look include:

  • Failure to respond promptly to clear signs of fetal distress on monitoring strips
  • Unreasonable delay in performing a necessary cesarean section
  • Improper use of forceps or improper use of vacuum during delivery
  • Allowing labor to continue despite obvious problems with the baby’s oxygen supply
  • Failure to diagnose or treat maternal conditions that increased risk to the baby
  • Inadequate monitoring or treatment of newborn jaundice or infection

In Florida, birth injury cases typically fall under the state’s medical malpractice laws. These laws include specific procedures and deadlines, which can be strict. Evaluating a potential claim usually involves a detailed review of prenatal records, labor and delivery charts, neonatal records, and later medical evaluations. Our attorneys work to determine whether the standard of care was followed and whether different choices could have prevented your child’s injury.

What To Do If You Suspect A Birth Injury

Many parents come to us with the same feeling. Something about the pregnancy or delivery did not seem right, and months or years later, their child has developmental delays or a diagnosis that raises more questions. It is common to feel unsure, guilty, or even hesitant to question your medical providers.

You do not have to have all the answers before you speak with a lawyer. There are, however, some practical steps you can take now to protect your child’s interests and give any future investigation a stronger foundation.

Helpful steps parents can consider include:

  • Continuing all recommended medical care and evaluations with pediatric specialists
  • Requesting copies of prenatal, labor and delivery, and neonatal records from the hospital and providers in Hollywood or elsewhere
  • Keeping a journal of your child’s symptoms, diagnoses, and major appointments
  • Saving bills, insurance statements, and records of time missed from work due to your child’s care
  • Seeking a second medical opinion if you still have unanswered questions about what caused your child’s condition

Taking these steps does not mean you are committed to filing a lawsuit. They simply help preserve information that may be important if you decide to move forward. In Florida, medical malpractice claims are subject to deadlines that can depend on when the injury was discovered and other facts. Speaking with an attorney earlier gives you more time to understand how those rules may apply.

When you contact Rash Mueller, we start with a conversation about your experience and what you know so far. We can review the information you already have and discuss what additional records may be helpful. Our aim is to give you a clearer picture of your options, without adding pressure during an already difficult time.

How A Birth Injury Lawyer Helps Your Family

A serious birth injury often affects every part of a family’s life. Children may need ongoing care from neurologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech therapists, and other specialists. They may require adaptive equipment, home modifications, or assistance with daily tasks. Parents may miss work or leave jobs entirely to provide care. These costs can last for decades.

A birth injury attorney Hollywood families trust can help evaluate both the medical and financial impact of a preventable injury. Our attorneys look at hospital and clinic records, consult with appropriate medical professionals, and work to understand how the injury will affect your child over time. We then pursue compensation that can take into account past and future medical care, therapies, equipment, and the effect on your family’s income and quality of life.

Because Rash Mueller regularly handles complex injury cases, we are familiar with the challenges of negotiating with large insurance companies and defending our clients’ claims in court. When a case involves a hospital or providers in Hollywood or elsewhere in Broward County, we consider how local medical practices, available resources, and Florida law interact. Our experience with major verdicts and large-scale litigation gives us perspective on how to prepare serious cases carefully.

We typically handle these matters on a contingency fee basis, which means legal fees are collected only if there is a recovery. Specific arrangements are discussed with you before representation begins, and our goal is to avoid adding financial strain to families already managing significant medical expenses. Throughout the process, we work to keep you informed, explain each major step, and answer questions as they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child’s injury was malpractice?

The only way to know is through a careful review of medical records and circumstances. Our attorneys look at prenatal care, labor and delivery, and newborn treatment to see whether accepted standards were followed. We then explain our assessment in plain language so you can make informed decisions.

What will it cost to hire your birth injury lawyers?

We typically represent families in serious injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means legal fees are collected only if there is a recovery. We also offer free initial consultations to review your situation. During that meeting, we explain our fee structure in detail so there are no surprises.

How long do I have to file a birth injury case in Florida?

Florida has specific time limits for medical malpractice claims, and birth injury cases can involve additional rules. The deadline can depend on factors such as when the injury was discovered and the child’s age. Because these rules are complex, it is wise to speak with an attorney promptly.

What should I bring to our first consultation?

Bring any records you already have, such as hospital discharge papers, pediatric reports, diagnostic imaging summaries, and notes about your pregnancy and delivery. If you do not have complete records, that is fine. We can talk through what you remember and discuss which documents may help evaluate your case.

Will a lawsuit affect my child’s current medical care?

Filing a legal claim does not automatically change your child’s treatment or require you to switch providers. Many families continue care with the same doctors while a case is pending. We can discuss any concerns about ongoing care and help you understand how to balance treatment needs with legal options.

    "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.

    "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.
