Delray Beach Birth Injury Lawyer
Understanding Birth Injuries & Their Impact
Birth injuries can have a profound impact on families, often leading to a lifetime of medical care and emotional distress. These injuries may arise due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, significantly affecting the child's quality of life. Common types of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, brain damage, and fractures, among others. At Samuel M. Yaffa P.A., our focus is on advocating for families in Delray Beach, ensuring those responsible for such negligence are held accountable.
One of the critical aspects of handling birth injuries is understanding the long-term implications they have on both the child and the family.

Furthermore, the emotional toll on families can be immense, as they grapple with feelings of guilt, anger, and uncertainty about the future. At Samuel M. Yaffa P.A., we aim to alleviate some of this burden by fighting for the compensation that can help cover medical expenses and provide the necessary support for a child's lifelong care.

How Do You Prove Medical Malpractice?
Every medical professional has an obligation to their patients to treat them to the best of their ability, known as the “standard of care” or “duty of care.” When this standard is violated and causes harm to a patient, malpractice has occurred.
Three elements are needed to have a medical practice case:
- A medical professional must breach their standard of care while treating a patient
- This breach must lead directly to harm caused to the patient
- The patient must suffer significant and calculable damages
This means that you cannot sue someone for malpractice just because your treatment does not work the way you hoped it would or because a healthcare worker makes a mistake. Serious and harmful negligence must be involved to have a case.
Medical malpractice is one of the most complicated fields of injury law because it can be immensely difficult to prove that a doctor acted negligently, especially if it is just your word against an experienced medical professional and their peers.
The healthcare industry has a wealth of attorneys, policies, laws, and more that protect them from legal action against disgruntled patients. Therefore, it is typically recommended to consult with—if not hire—a medical malpractice lawyer if you plan on filing a claim.
-
What are Examples of Medical Malpractice?
There are numerous ways that medical errors can happen. For example, a patient may be prescribed or given the wrong medication, which causes a serious—and preventable—allergic reaction.
Other common examples of medical malpractice include:
Anesthesia Errors
If too large or too small a dosage of anesthesia is administered to a patient it can cause serious health issues. Patients may also be subject to allergic reactions when given anesthesia; if your medical records noted an anesthesia allergy and you were given it anyway, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
Surgical Errors
Surgical errors may include a procedure being performed on the wrong part of the body or the wrong patient entirely. Other examples include a surgeon accidentally cutting open a nerve during a procedure or leaving a piece of surgical equipment inside a patient after sewing them up.
Birth injuries
If a serious blunder takes place during childbirth, a newborn may have health issues that stay with them for life. Birth injuries can harm the mother as well.
Misdiagnosis
If a doctor diagnosis you with the wrong illness and treats you for something other than what you actually have, this can delay your treatment and may even make your condition worse.
Delayed Diagnosis
Similarly, if a doctor fails to recognize an obvious ailment and does not diagnosis it, this lack of treatment can cause further harm.
