Birth Injury Legal Help

When children are born with an illness or injury due to medical negligence families must deal with tremendous financial costs. A birth injury attorney can assist in obtaining compensation to cover the care expenses and improve a child's quality of life.

Families must prove four things to win a lawsuit for birth injury:

Statute of Limitations

It is crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you suspect medical malpractice. This ensures that your claim is filed within the state's statute of limitations, as well as that you have sufficient time to create a strong case and receive the right amount of compensation.

A claimant generally has two and half (2-1/2 years) to pursue a lawsuit based on medical malpractice. The time period begins from when the negligence occurred. New York law extends this time limit to 10 years for cases filed on behalf of children, provided the child is not yet the age of 18.

To win a birth injury lawsuit, you must prove that the defendant breached their duty to you when inflicting injuries on your child. Causation is established by expert testimony and documents that show the best practices and have been endorsed by the medical community.

Your attorney will conduct an investigation and gather all evidence relevant to your case including medical records as well as tests results from both you and your child. They will then determine potential defendants and obtain the required documents from their insurance companies. Once they have all the documents, they will send a demand letter to the parties at fault for damages in cash. If they are unable to reach a settlement with your lawyer, they will sue in court. A lawsuit is usually resolved through a trial, with each side presenting evidence and arguments before a jury and judge.

Medical Experts

If a baby is affected by a birth injury, it can have devastating consequences for the child and their family. It is crucial to seek legal help as soon as you can. This will enable the lawyer to develop a convincing case using evidence like medical records and depositions by doctors. Attorneys can also engage an expert from a medical field to review the case and provide an opinion. This is a crucial step for any claim involving medical malpractice.

Birth injuries can be difficult to prove as symptoms might not be apparent until later. Parents may not be aware of birth injuries until their child has failed to meet developmental milestones, or their pediatrician has stated that there are intellectual and physical deficiencies. A potential injury could be detected by indicators such as admission to the NICU or a need for a CT or MRI scan after birth.

Causation is another key factor in a successful birth injury lawsuit. You must show that the breach of duty by the defendant caused the injury of your child. If the doctor had not committed the breach of duty, your child would not have sustained an injury.

Most medical malpractice claims including those involving birth injury or birth injury, are settled out of court. In a settlement, the defendants must agree on the amount of money needed to settle the matter. The amount must reflect your past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult experts in the field of medicine and finance to determine the correct amount.

Defendants

A successful birth injury lawsuit requires establishing that your medical provider has violated their duty of care. This is usually done by seeking the opinion of medical expert witnesses. The medical expert will review your case's evidence, including depositions of the doctors who were involved in your case and medical documents. He or she will establish whether your doctor acted accordance with the appropriate standard of care for professionals with similar qualifications and experience in the particular circumstances.

Lawyers also employ experts in finance to evaluate and estimate your losses, taking into consideration past, current and future costs. Your attorney will discuss with the hospital or physician's malpractice carrier and file a lawsuit if necessary to obtain the maximum amount of compensation for your child's injuries.

Unlike most lawsuits, birth injury cases often resolve in settlements. Settlements occur when all parties agree to pay a minimum amount of money and legal action ceases. If your case doesn't resolve the case could go to trial, where the jury and a judge will decide what happens.

A birth injury is a serious medical problem that can have lasting effects on your child and the family. To get the best results it is important to partner with a seasoned birth injury lawyer with a an established track record of success in handling these claims.

Settlement

Your lawyer must do all possible to ensure that your family receives an appropriate settlement. It will depend on your child's injuries and the needs that result from them. For example, a severe birth injury could require many years of treatment, often throughout the day. Your lawyer will consult with medical and health experts to determine the total cost of this treatment and submit a valid claim.

In a lot of cases the hospital's or doctor's malpractice insurer will offer to settle the case without the need for litigation. In these instances your lawyer will file an order package that includes an extensive description of the details of your case, along with a proposed amount of money to settle it. The insurance company will review the information provided and then respond by counter-offering. Your lawyer will work with the insurance company to decide on the fairness of the settlement.

If a settlement can't be reached, your attorney can bring a medical malpractice suit in the county in which the injury occurred. Depending on the circumstances, you can identify as defendants your doctor and any other doctors or hospitals involved in your child's birth and the injury. After the lawsuit is filed, your attorney can obtain additional information via the process of discovery, that includes depositions, as well as sworn testimony from witnesses. This evidence will help support your legal arguments.
