Birth injuries to a newborn child may result from a mistake made by the hospital, doctor, or other health care provider. Cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, and other birth injuries can be devastating and present physical, emotional, and financial challenges for a family. Today, the long-term care costs for an infant with a birth injury are now estimated to be nearly $1 million over the course of a child’s lifetime.
Sokolove Law has 30+ years of experience representing families in birth injury cases due to medical error. Our Florida birth injury lawyers have helped birth injury victims and their families secure millions of dollars in settlements.
Every year doctors, nurses, and hospitals in Florida are responsible for providing substandard healthcare to their patients, including newborns. Since 1990, an estimated $771 million in settlements have been paid to Florida families who have suffered a birth injury, according to the National Practitioner’s Database. Payouts have been awarded to cover lifelong care costs such as medicine, therapy, rehabilitation, schooling and assistive devices.
