State Court
Surgery

TAMPA - K.S., a minor, by and through his parents, Christopher and Kameika Smith, filed a complaint on July 22 in Hillsborough County Circuit Court against Suzanne R. Clemons, M.D. and Women's Care Florida, LLC for negligence.

According to the complaint, on Nov. 10, 2020, Kameika Smith had a C-section performed by Dr. Clemons at St. Joseph's Women's Hospital. During the operation, Dr. Clemons' scalpel cut K.S.'s face, causing a severe face laceration, the suit says. 

Smith alleges that Dr. Clemons used unnecessary depth, force and length during the procedure, which caused the child to get hurt. 

Smith is represented by Wesley T. Straw. 

Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County filing number 131239723
