No two births are the same. Many women encounter complications and difficulties that can put a strain on mother and baby. It is the doctor’s duty, however, to prepare for potential problems and to take swift emergency action if necessary. Doctors, obstetricians, surgeons, and nurses have a professional duty that comes with the highest standards of care for pregnant women and their children. Unfortunately, not everyone takes this duty seriously. Incompetence and unpreparedness can lead to preventable injuries, such as:
If an independently-contracted physician caused your child’s injuries, you might have grounds to file a claim against the doctor him/herself. If an employed physician or staff member caused the incident, however, the healthcare facility could be vicariously liable. Our firm can help you file a personal injury or wrongful death claim against the Birth Center of Gainesville, University of Florida Health Center, Gentle Journey Midwifery and Birth Center, or North Florida Regional Medical Center for medical malpractice.
You might need help from a Gainesville birth injury lawyer if your child suffered serious, life-threatening, or disabling injuries. A lawyer can also be of assistance if you believe your child lost his or her life during labor and delivery because of an error on the doctor or hospital’s part. Although you have two years to bring a medical malpractice claim in Florida, prompt action is best for your case.
