Birth Injury Legal Help

Families face huge cost of living when a child is born with an medically-caused injury or illness. An attorney for birth injuries can assist in obtaining compensation to cover the care expenses and improve the quality of life for a child.

To prevail in a birth injury lawsuit, families must demonstrate four things:

Statute of Limitations

Regardless of how the injury occurred, it's important to seek legal counsel immediately if you suspect medical negligence. This will ensure that your claim is filed at the right time to comply with your state's statutes limitations and that you have enough time to build a solid case and receive the right amount of compensation.

In general, a party has two and a half (2-1/2) years to file a medical negligence lawsuit starting from the date of the occurrence of negligence. New York law extends this deadline to 10 years in cases filed on behalf of children, provided the child has not reached the age of 18.

In order to win a birth-related injury lawsuit, you must prove that the defendant breached their obligation to you by creating injuries for your child. Causation is typically established through evidence from experts and documents that demonstrate the best practices, which are generally accepted by the medical community.

Your attorney will conduct an investigation and collect the relevant evidence in your case including medical records as well as test results from both you and your baby. Then, they'll identify potential defendants and request required documents from the insurance companies. After they have completed the process, they'll send a demand for damages in the amount of money to the parties at fault. If they refuse to negotiate with your lawyer, they will bring suit in court. A lawsuit is usually settled by a trial where each side will present its arguments and evidence before jurors and judges.

Medical Experts

A birth injury can have devastating effects on the child and his family. It is important to seek legal assistance as early as you can. This will allow the attorney to present a convincing case, based on evidence such as medical records and depositions by doctors. A lawyer can also get an expert from a medical field to review the case and give an opinion. This is an essential step in any medical malpractice case.

Many birth injuries are difficult to prove because the signs may not be evident until a long time later. Parents usually don't realize they have the signs until their child is missing developmental milestones or until their pediatrician indicates that there are intellectual and physical limitations. Signs of an injury, such as admission to the NICU or a need for an CT scan or MRI after birth, can also indicate a possible injury.

Causation is yet another crucial element in a successful birth injury lawsuit. You must show that the defendant's failure in duty caused your child's injury. If the doctor had not committed the breach of duty, then your child would not have sustained an injury.

Most medical malpractice cases that involve birth injury and birth injuries, are settled outside of court. In a settlement agreement, the defendants have to be able to agree on a specific dollar amount in order to resolve the claim. The amount must reflect both past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult financial and medical experts in order to determine the proper amount.

Defendants

A successful birth injury lawsuit needs proving that your medical professional did not fulfill their duty of care. This is typically done by obtaining a medical expert witness' opinion. The medical expert will review the evidence in your case, including any medical records and depositions taken by doctors involved. He or she will establish whether your doctor acted in conformity with the standard of care required for professionals who have similar training and expertise under the circumstances.

A lawyer may also employ financial experts to evaluate and calculate your losses, considering past, current and future costs. Your attorney will engage with the hospital, or the physician's malpractice insurance company and file a lawsuit if necessary to obtain the maximum amount of compensation for the injuries your child sustained.

Contrary to most lawsuits, birth injury cases usually end in settlements. A settlement is when all parties agree to a specific amount of money and the legal process ceases. If you are unable to agree to a settlement in your case, your case could go to court, where a judge and jury will decide on the final outcome.

A birth injury is a serious medical condition which can have lasting consequences on your child and the family. It is essential to work closely with an attorney who has experience in dealing with such claims.

Settlement

Your attorney should do everything possible to ensure that your family receives a fair settlement. It will depend on the injuries your child has suffered, and the resulting needs. A serious birth injury, such as may require years of medical attention and frequently, it is necessary to be on call 24/7. Your lawyer will consult with medical and health experts to determine the total cost of the care, and make an appropriate claim.

In many instances the malpractice insurance policy of a physician or hospital will offer to settle a matter without litigation. In these situations your lawyer will file an order package that includes a detailed statement of the facts of your case and a proposed dollar amount to settle it. The insurance company will scrutinize the information and respond to your request with a counteroffer. Your lawyer will negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.

When a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney could make a claim for medical malpractice in the county where the injury occurred. Depending on the circumstances, you may include as defendants your physician and any other hospitals or doctors involved in your child's birth and the injury. After filing the lawsuit your attorney will be able to get additional information via the process of discovery, which includes depositions and the sworn testimony of witnesses. This evidence will support your legal arguments.
