The Villages Birth Injuries
Although many birth injuries develop due to unavoidable complications, others may be caused by the negligence or carelessness of a medical professional. There are a variety of ways that a birth injury can happen under a doctor’s care and lead to disfigurement or a severe disability. If this has happened to your newborn, you may be entitled to compensation.
In these cases, Morgan & Morgan’s birth injury attorneys may be able to file a medical malpractice lawsuit seeking compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Since birth injury lawsuits require a deep understanding of both the medical and legal fields, it is important to retain an attorney with the experience and resources needed to handle these complex claims.

How Are Birth Injuries Caused?
There are a variety of ways that birth injuries occur due to medical negligence including:
- Misuse of instruments during delivery;
- Do not respond to bleeding, distress, or umbilical cord placement;
- Do not anticipate complications related to baby or maternal health; and
- Delay ordering a caesarean section.
Conditions like Erb’s palsy involve the doctor or nurse attempting to manipulate parts of the baby, particularly the forearm and hand, and causing injury to your child. Other injuries could come about as a result of improperly using tools, failing to react to changing circumstances of birth, or failing to perform sufficient testing or observation during the process.
