Neonatal ICU Error Litigation

Seeking Justice for Victims of Neonatal Intensive Care Negligence

Taking legal action on behalf of your child

Personnel in neonatal intensive care units are supposed to be the most highly trained and talented staff in any hospital. This is because of the sensitivity of newborn babies—especially when there are complications. Medical malpractice attorneys at Osborne, Francis & Pettis take aggressive legal action when neonatal intensive care unit staff fails to live up to their responsibility to care for your newborn child. We recover compensation for harm caused and financial security for any further medical treatment needed.

The challenges of proving medical malpractice in a Florida neonatal intensive care unit

The greatest hurdle for a plaintiff in these cases is proving that the harm was caused by the hospital. With the burden of proof on the plaintiff, this can be a challenge because birth injuries occur for many different reasons.
