The delivery

Where and when your child was born.

In which state was your child delivered?

My practice is limited to Florida, so I can't represent you in a case from another state. I do, however, work with experienced birth injury attorneys across the country.

Would you like me to review your information and, with your permission, refer your matter to a qualified attorney in your state? Yes, please review my information and refer my case if appropriate No, thank you

Please choose one so we know how to proceed.

When was your child born? (month and year is fine)

Because of how Florida's filing deadlines work for children, timing may be critical in your situation. Please submit today or call us directly.

Florida gives families of injured children extra time to file, but that protection has limits that may be approaching. It's worth acting promptly.

Hospital or birth center (if you remember)

How was your child delivered? Vaginal delivery C-section after labor or pushing had started Planned C-section Not sure

During the delivery

Check anything you remember being told, or that appears in the records. It's fine to leave blanks.

Your child's injury

Which arm is affected? Left Right Both

Has a doctor given the injury a name? Erb's palsy Klumpke's palsy Brachial plexus injury (general) No formal diagnosis yet

How is the arm today? Fully recovered Mostly recovered, some weakness Significant limitationTrouble raising the arm, weakness, smaller arm, limited rotation Little or no use of the arm

We're glad your child recovered. Full recoveries usually mean a claim isn't viable, but if you're seeing lingering issues as your child grows, tell us below.

Treatment so far

Check all that apply.

Physical or occupational therapy Splinting or bracing Botox injections Nerve surgery already performedNerve graft, nerve transfer, or muscle/tendon surgery Surgery recommended or scheduled No treatment yet

Has your child had an MRI of the neck, shoulder, or brachial plexus? Yes No Not sure

A little history

Do you have any of the medical records? Yes, most or all Some No, and that's okay; we can request them

Have you spoken with other attorneys about this? No Yes, but I'm not representedBeing turned down before doesn't mean you don't have a case I currently have a lawyer for this

If another attorney currently represents you in this matter, we can't review it while that relationship exists. If that changes, we'd be glad to talk.
