Orlando Birth Injuries Lawyer

Overview

Jack T. Cook is a partner in Morgan & Morgan's Medical Malpractice Department specializing in Birth Injury litigation to include cases involving birth trauma, birth defects, brain damage, brachial plexus injuries, and stillbirth. Mr. Cook has national litigation and trial experience having successfully tried cases to verdict from the both the plaintiff and defense perspective. In 2021, Mr. Cook was named Managing Partner of Morgan & Morgan's Birth Injury Trial Group.

Prior to joining Morgan & Morgan, Mr. Cook enjoyed acclaim and recognition as a skilled litigator and trial lawyer in both Medical Malpractice and Birth Injury litigation. Early in his career, Mr. Cook represented the interests of physicians, physician groups, and hospitals, but has since devoted his practice to the representation of injured patients and their families. In addition to Birth Injuries, Mr. Cook handles medical malpractice cases involving surgical errors, premature discharge from the hospital, pressure sores/wounds, negligent emergency room care, medication errors and failure to appropriately diagnose stroke, heart attack, blood clots, and infection.

"While most doctors, nurses, midwives, and mid-level providers provide medical care and treatment consistent with accepted practices, the unfortunate reality is that even the best doctors/nurses make mistakes, and those mistakes often have catastrophic consequences. Medical errors can be as simple as an omission or communication error or could be as serious as blatant ignoring of known risks. With regards to Birth Injuries, providers often adopt a "wait and see" attitude instead of taking decisive action to prevent injury. With regards to surgical errors, physicians often press forward with surgery in the face of known risks and dangers, and without informing their patient. Regardless of the reason, it is important that victims of malpractice find experienced and accomplished attorneys to help them navigate the difficult waters ahead." -Jack T. Cook
