North Miami Birth Injuries

In situations where a birth injury in North Miami or Florida occurs, families who are excited about a new addition to their family often are also encompassed by worries about taking care of a child with special needs. In many cases, the cost of paying for child with special needs is enormous, especially if the injury is permanent or severe.

If your child has suffered a brain injury in North Miami or any serious injury during birth, it is important to get legal advice. If the injuries were caused by medical negligence, you may have a legal claim that allows you to seek compensation so that you can pay for the best medical care for your child.

Types of Birth Injuries in North Miami and Other Florida Cities

Birth injuries can range very widely from minor to fatal. Common types of birth injuries in North Miami include:

  • Skin irritations and other minor injuries
  • Fractures
  • Broken collarbones and arms
  • Brachial plexus palsy
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Erb’s palsy
  • Paralysis
  • Neck and head injuries
  • Brain damage
  • Seizure disorders

Brain injuries in North Miami are one of the most serious types of birth injuries. In many cases, this injury is caused when the baby’s brain sustains trauma during the delivery procedure. This can happen if incorrect use of forceps is used or if a cesarean section is not performed in time. In some cases, the child’s brain is deprived of oxygen and this can also lead to brain damage as well as severe birth injury. In many cases, this can be prevented with proper monitoring of both the unborn child and the mother during the labor and delivery process.

Finding Liable Parties in a Birth Injury Case

Medical staff are expected to monitor an unborn infant’s heart beat and other vital signs and are expected to monitor a mother as well. If the pregnancy is high risk, medical staff may be expected to take additional precautions to ensure a safe delivery. When injuries occur, there may be multiple liable parties, ranging from medical staff to the hospital where the birth took place. A personal injury attorney in North Miami can help you find all liable parties in your case.
