Do I have a medical malpractice case if my child suffered a birth injury?

You may have a case if the birth injury resulted from a medical provider's failure to meet the accepted standard of care during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Common actionable errors include delayed emergency C-sections and improper use of medical equipment. However, these cases require a thorough review of medical records by qualified medical professionals before a claim can be filed under Florida's strict pre-suit requirements (Fla. Stat. § 766.106). At The Altman Law Firm, Jeffrey S. Altman works to evaluate the circumstances of your child's injury to determine if negligent care was the direct cause.
