Tampa Birth Injury Attorneys: Medical Negligence Relating To
Pregnancy and Prenatal Care, Labor and Delivery, or Neonatal Care
Trial lawyers Mike Hancock and Claire Hancock have secured many verdicts and settlements for medical malpractice, including birth injury and infant death cases. He can determine if you have grounds to sue for adverse outcomes such as:
- Cerebral palsy or other brain damage from oxygen deprivation
- Erb's palsy, Klumpke's palsy or other nerve damage
- Complications of premature birth (e.g., blindness, lung problems)
- Severe genetic defects not detected in pregnancy
- Developmental disability (retardation)
- Death of your fetus or newborn
- Injury or death of the mother (hemorrhage, stroke, pulmonary embolism)
Working closely with OB-GYN consultants and other medical experts, Mr. Hancock can review the medical records and read between the lines to uncover the negligence that caused your family's tragedy:
- Improper delivery technique resulting in shoulder dystocia injury
- Failure to anticipate or perform a timely C-section delivery
- Failure to stave off pre-term labor
- Failure to respond to fetal distress
- Failure to treat newborn jaundice or respiratory distress
- Failure to diagnose incompetent cervix, pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes
- Other mistakes before, during or after childbirth
We pursue full compensation for your emotional distress as parents, for a lifetime of special services and medical care your child may require, and for associated losses and expenses such as lost earnings or psychiatric care.
