Laws That can Affect Your Birth Injury Case in Hallandale Beach or Florida

Seeking compensation in a birth injury case in Hallandale Beach or a medical malpractice case can be quite complex. There are many laws and statutes that can affect this type of case. Under Florida's Birth Related Neurological Injury Compensation Plan (NICA), for example, parents have a right to seek compensation through the NICA fund rather than seeking legal redress against doctors. This plan limits compensation to $100,000, which unfortunately is often not enough to pay for a lifetime of care sustained by a child who has suffered severe injuries. A serious brain injury in Hallandale Beach, for example, may require your child to replace a lifetime of lost income and to have at-home care as well as multiple surgeries and complex medical treatment.

Florida Statute §766.302 requires that parents who have children who have sustain certain types of birth injuries must determine their eligibility to pursue legal cases by filing with the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings. These and other laws often protect doctors and limit how much patients can get in compensation.
