Birth Injury Legal Help

If a child is born suffering from an illness or injury due to medical negligence, families are confronted with massive financial costs. A birth injury attorney can assist in obtaining compensation to cover medical expenses and improve a child's quality of life.

Families must prove four things to prevail in a lawsuit against birth injury:

Statute of limitations

Whatever the way in which the injury was sustained, it is crucial to seek legal advice when you suspect medical negligence. This will ensure that your claim is filed on time for the statutes of limitations and you will have enough time to create a strong case and obtain the right amount of compensation.

In order to win a lawsuit for birth injuries, you must show that the defendant acted in breach of his or her duty to you and caused your child's injury. The way to establish causation is usually by using expert testimony and documents that show the best practices, which are widely accepted by the medical profession.

Your attorney will look into your case and collect all relevant evidence, including medical records for you and your child. They will then determine potential defendants and obtain the necessary documents from their insurance companies. Once the paperwork is completed, they'll send a demand notice to the at-fault parties for damages in cash. If they do not agree to negotiate then your lawyer will file a lawsuit in court. A lawsuit is usually settled through a trial, where both sides present their evidence and arguments to the jury and a judge.

Medical Experts

The lawyer can then construct an argument based on medical records and doctor depositions. A lawyer may also seek an expert from a medical field to review the case and give an opinion. This is a crucial element in any medical malpractice case.

Birth injuries aren't always easy to prove because symptoms may not manifest until later. Parents may not notice them until their child fails to meet milestones in development or their doctor suggests physical and intellectual deficits. Signs of injury, like admission to the NICU, or the need for an CT scan or MRI after birth, can also be an indication of a possible injury.

Causation is another key aspect in a successful birth injury lawsuit. You must establish that the defendant's breach in duty caused your child to be injured. If the doctor had not committed the breach of duty, then your child would not have sustained an injury.

In a settlement agreement, the parties must agree on a dollar value to settle the matter. The amount must reflect past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult experts in financial and medical fields to determine the appropriate amount.

Defendants

In order to be successful in a birth injury lawsuit you must prove that your medical provider breached their duty of care. This is usually accomplished by obtaining the opinion of medical expert witnesses. The medical expert will look over the evidence in your case, including depositions from the doctors involved in your case as well as any medical documents. The expert will determine whether your doctor acted accordance with the proper standards of care for professionals with similar qualifications and expertise in the particular circumstances.

Contrary to most lawsuits, birth injuries are often resolved through settlements. A settlement is when all parties agree to pay a set amount of money, and legal action ceases. If your case is unable to reach a settlement the case could go to trial where an arbitrator and judge will decide the outcome.

A birth injury is a serious medical issue which can have lasting consequences for your child and family. It is crucial to work closely with an attorney who has experience in handling such claims.

Settlement

Your attorney should be working to obtain a fair settlement for your family. This will depend on the nature of your child's injuries and the resulting demands. A serious birth injury, for instance can require years of care and typically, 24/7. Your lawyer will consult medical and care experts to determine the total cost of this care and then file a suitable claim.

In many instances, the malpractice insurance of a hospital or doctor will offer the option of settling a case with no litigation. In these instances, your lawyer will submit an order package that includes an exhaustive description of the details of your case as well as a proposed dollar amount to settle the matter. The insurance company will review the details and respond with a counter offer. Your lawyer will negotiate an acceptable settlement with the insurance company.

If a settlement isn't reached, your lawyer may file a lawsuit for medical negligence in the county that caused the injury. Based on the circumstances, you may name as defendants your doctor and any other doctors or hospitals involved in your child's birth and the injury. When the lawsuit is filed, your attorney can obtain additional information via the process known as discovery, which can include depositions and swearing testimony from witnesses. This evidence will help support your legal arguments.
