As our birth injury lawyer explains in this video, when doctors are negligent in the care they provide and cause infants retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) blindness, seeking damages in a birth injury lawsuit is not about punishing the doctor – it is about getting victims the compensation they need to help improve their quality of life after blindness caused by medical malpractice. Talk to an experienced ROP birth injury lawyer at our Tampa Bay personal injury law firm that focuses on malpractice injuries to children for a free claim consultation and free legal advice today.

It has to be difficult for any parent to think about bringing a lawsuit against any doctor. Nobody can ever forget that doctors are at work every day, that their goal is to save lives and to preserve health. The civil justice system was never created to punish anybody. Unfortunately, it’s become a byproduct of our society today. The civil justice system and malpractice suits are intended only to compensate the victim. It’s not about the doctor.

What Our Clients Say

“My dad lost his fingers on one hand due to malpractice after a successful surgery that did not involve fingers. For months we were told it was because of debris in his blood. It was not. Mr. Shapiro and his associates were relentless in getting the medical records until the "missing" page was sent. Then they had the hard and arduous job of finding a doctor willing to testify. An informative video and audio with the doctor's testimony was presented. Case closed. Because of their due diligence, a satisfactory settlement was reached. Mr. Shapiro's law firm worked hard, were extremely thorough, professional, and kept in constant communication throughout the whole stressful ordeal. Mr. Shapiro still remembers my parents and keeps in touch with my mom, even after 15 years have passed. That alone is impressive.”
