Do I Have an ROP Lawsuit?

ROP lawsuits are personal injury cases that seek compensation for babies who develop retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as a result of medical negligence. ROP can result in permanent disability. Infants and their parents may be entitled to compensation when malpractice has played a role in the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Instances of malpractice known to contribute to retinopathy of prematurity include (but aren't necessarily limited to):

• exposing newborns to toxins
• improper use of oxygen therapy following birth
• failing to provide timely, regular eye exams to high risk infants
• failing to diagnose retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) when symptoms of this condition are clearly present
• failing to promptly or adequately treat retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)

ROP can have lifelong consequences. If your baby has been diagnosed  with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), please contact us to learn more about your rights and receive a free consultation.
