Types of Pediatric Malpractice Injuries
Pediatric malpractice occurs when a physician, hospital, or other pediatric healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care set out by their industry and causes direct harm to a child as a result. The most common types of pediatric malpractice injuries include:
- Brain injuries
- Infections
- Viral illness
- Development disabilities
- Physical disabilities
- Paralysis
- Hearing loss
These and other injuries can have long-term consequences for developing children, including lifelong delays or chronic physical disability. If the injury occurred due to negligence, it is imperative that you work with pediatric medical malpractice attorneys in Florida who have the skills and resources necessary to protect your – and your child’s – financial future.

How Does Pediatric Malpractice Happen?
Pediatricians and their peers have a legal and ethical responsibility to act in the best interests of their patients. This is called a duty of care, and medical malpractice occurs when this duty is breached, whether intentionally or not.
There are many ways that pediatric providers can fail to meet their duty of care, including:
- Labor and delivery errors
- Postpartum negligence
- Medication errors
- Delayed diagnoses or failure to diagnose
- Surgical errors
- Pharmacy Malpractice
An experienced pediatric malpractice lawyer in Florida can look at all available evidence to figure out what went wrong in your child’s case and who is responsible. We can then go after the liable party or parties to win fair compensation for medical care, distress, and other damages. Contact our medical malpractice team to learn more.

Potential Damages in Pediatric Malpractice Cases
The purpose of damages is to make you whole again after injury due to another’s negligence. What damages you qualify for depends on the specifics of your case, including what went wrong and what consequences were suffered as a result.
Potential damages you may be able to receive in a pediatric medical malpractice suit include current and future medical bills, disability accommodations, lost earning capacity, lost wages of parents, loss of consortium for parents, and, in very severe cases, wrongful death. These are meant to cover the financial, physical, and emotional toll of pediatric malpractice, as well as to relieve your burden as you move forward with your life and your child’s care needs.
Under Florida law, there are a number of factors that impact the amount of damages you can claim in a pediatric malpractice claim, such as the severity of the injury, the impact of the injury on your child’s/family’s daily life, and your child’s pre-injury health status. When assessing your case, we will consider all possible damages in light of these factors and then provide you with a reliable estimate of just how much compensation you may be entitled to.
