Gainesville Birth Injuries Attorney

Compassionate Legal Representation in North and Central Florida

When you are in labor and go to the hospital or to a midwife, you are entrusting them with your life and the life of your newborn child. When complications arise, you will usually be notified by the doctor of the risks associated with it. Complications are normally due to an abnormal position of the fetus in the uterus. Many birth injuries are mild and will heal within a few months; others, however, can cause lifelong medical problems. Some of these risks may involve birth injuries, such as brain injury, head injury, nerve damage, and breech (leg's first) birth injury.

Sometimes, the obstetrician or nurse makes a mistake, and their negligence can lead to debilitating injuries to your child. If your child has suffered a birth injury and you believe that it may have been due to the negligence of the doctor, nurse, or midwife, a Gainesville personal injury lawyer at the Uman Law Firm may be able to help. Mistakes that cause birth injuries include delayed Caesarian section delivery, improper forceps use, excessive pressure or pulling, oxygen deprivation, fetal distress and drug overdose. Injuries do to these mistakes can cause:

Paralysis
Mental Retardation
Cerebral Palsy
Brachial Plexus Injury (Erb's Palsy)
Quadriplegia
Paraplegia
Muscle Damage
Brain Damage
Nerve Damage
