A birth injury attorney providing hope after tragedy

As a soon-to-be mother, you put more than your own life into the hands of medical professionals. Trust is implicit, but when a birth injury occurs due to medical staff errors, you need a skilled and qualified Clearwater medical malpractice attorney. Law Office of Paul B. Genet, P.A. represents innocent victims who sustain an injury or trauma at birth.

As a doctor, you respond to complications that arise during childbirth, but a difficult labor can lead to birth trauma.

Law Office of Paul B. Genet, P.A. represents both patients and doctors in birth injury cases. We realize the tragedy of a birth injury and seek the best legal resolution. We assess the situation and pursue the answers to these questions:

• Was standard medical protocol followed?
• Did the doctor and medical staff respond to the birth complications appropriately?
• Was delivery equipment used properly?

A birth injury can result in a lifetime of medical costs. We seek solutions through litigation, but also guide you to other resources for future help, such as the Florida Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Association (NICA). Created by the Florida Legislature, the organization’s mission is to help “pay for the care of infants born with certain neurological injuries.” Our goal is to get you the help and compensation you deserve.
