"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Labor and Delivery Negligence

Fort Lauderdale Medical Malpractice Lawyers Protecting the Rights of Clients Injured in Labor and Delivery Negligence

Advocating for South Florida clients seeking compensation for medical mistakes in labor and delivery

Under average circumstances, labor and delivery happens thousands of times each day, all around the world. In a hospital setting, labor and delivery is monitored and attended to by doctors, midwives, nurses and other medical professionals. Each one of these professionals has a part to play to ensure that the baby is delivered safely and mother’s well-being is protected during the process. Unfortunately, despite the countless precautions that are taken, mistakes occur in labor and delivery that lead to injury.

At the Yeboah Law Group, our Fort Lauderdale birth injury attorneys help families, who have faced the trauma of labor and delivery negligence, obtain compensation for their pain and suffering and other losses. Our compassionate legal team works with medical experts to research the incident, determine who is at fault in causing your injury, and whether the injury was a preventable error. In cases where medical negligence is to blame, we hold those responsible accountable for your losses.

Mistakes that lead to injury during labor and delivery

The medical mistakes that can occur during labor and delivery include both negligent actions and the failure to act to prevent an injury. Here are some examples of labor and delivery room mistakes:

Errors involving:

Medication
Use of forceps or vacuum extractor
Epidural

Failure to:

Perform a timely Cesarean section
Induce labor
Adequately monitor and identify fetal distress
Diagnose Cephalo-Pelvic-Disproportion (CPD) (fetus’ head is too large to pass through the mother’s pelvis)
Protect the newborn from mother’s infections

Proving medical malpractice in birth injury cases

Simply because a doctor or nurse made a mistake, it does not mean that medical malpractice occurred. There are several requirements that must be met before a medical error can be considered malpractice:

The burden of proof is on you, as the injured party, to prove the following:

There was a doctor-patient relationship
The doctor (or other medical professional) was negligent (failed to conform to the accepted standard of care)
The doctor’s negligence was the direct cause of the injury
Damages arose from the injury

So, having a bad experience during childbirth or being dissatisfied with how a doctor or nurse performed his or her duties does not constitute medical malpractice. If you are now wondering if your case can be considered malpractice, you are welcome to schedule a consult with one of our birth injury attorneys who will answer your questions about your case.

Damages that can arise from a labor and delivery malpractice claim

Every birth injury case is different, and the damages each person suffers will vary depending upon the circumstances. The following are some examples of the types of damages that might arise from a labor and delivery malpractice claim:

Medical expenses (current and in the future)
Lost income caring for your injured child
Child’s disability
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress of both parents

Consulting with a birth injury attorney after a birth injury from medical mistakes

After a labor and delivery injury, you may have many conflicting emotions, and you might be undecided about your decision to pursue legal remedies. Our compassionate Fort Lauderdale birth injury attorneys at the Yeboah Law Group are here to listen to your case and offer sound legal guidance given the facts of your case. When you work with us, we take on the legal burden so that you can focus on caring for your family. You know that a settlement or jury verdict is not going to restore your child’s health, nor will it redeem the time spent worrying about your child’s future, but it will help to cover the mounting expenses, and hopefully help ensure that the same kind of mistake does not happen to another child.
