Birth Injury Lawyers

Parents who believe their child suffered birth injuries because of medical malpractice may be entitled to compensation. However, claiming a claim comes with many challenges and deadlines such as the statute of limitations.

A family lawyer can help review medical records, get expert opinions and construct an evidence-based case. They can also handle communication with insurance companies and negotiate an equitable settlement.

Birth Injury Prevention

Unfortunately, many birth injuries could have been prevented. The reason for this is due to negligence by a medical professional or a natural complication, certain injuries are not able to heal on their own and may cause long-term complications for the injured child. There are some that require expensive treatments that aren't covered by insurance. When the injury occurs, the initial emotions that parents experience are typically anger, frustration, sadness and shock. They may also be left wondering what was the cause and whether this could have been prevented.

A birth injury could be caused by anything that occurs prior to, during, or during delivery. Some birth injuries are obvious like a skull fracture or spinal cord damage. Certain conditions will become apparent as the child gets older. A lack of motor development and cognitive delays are signs of brain injury from birth injuries that could have been prevented.

Some birth injuries can be prevented by ensuring the mother during pregnancy, and through regular OB-GYN appointments. Parents should evaluate their risk factors and choose the doctor best suited for their needs. In addition, the physician must listen to the mother and take her views into consideration during labor and delivery. The doctor must also be able and willing to perform the C section with care.

Medical Malpractice

A baby's injury during birth can ruin the hopes of parents, who have been waiting for this day for years. Even a minor medical mistake can cause years of costly treatments, and a lifetime of lost potential for the child injured.

The best birth injury attorneys will scrutinize medical records to determine if negligence took place during the birthing process. They will then collaborate with medical experts to show that the negligence on the part of the health care professional caused your child's injuries.

Many attorneys will offer a free case evaluation and are paid on a contingency basis, meaning they do not receive a payment unless they are successful in your case. The top national law firms also have access to large databases of medical information and a team of nurses that includes case managers along with medical experts and other staff members who can help you strengthen your case.

It is recommended to hire a lawyer as early as you can. If you wait until the child is an adult before bringing a suit you will have less time to create an effective case and any medical records supporting your claim may already have expired. If you do not act swiftly, the statute of limitation to file a claim for medical negligence in your state could have passed.

Medical Bills

The medical bills for infants suffering from brain injury, spinal cord injury or other birth injuries that could be prevented are shocking. A successful legal claim may help reduce some of these expenses. A settlement or jury award can pay for your child's future and current medical expenses, lost wages due to being at home with the injured baby, as well as emotional stress.

When deciding on the attorney to hire when choosing an attorney, it is essential to inquire about the number of cases they handle at a time and what their success rate is for those types of cases. It is also important to take into account their years of malpractice law experience, as it can impact their performance in court and when negotiating with corporate insurers.

It is important to know which medical experts will be involved in your case, and what they think about the possible causes for the injury to the child is an excellent idea. Medical experts can provide a unique perspective and can make a difference when it comes to winning a case of medical malpractice.

Parents should also be sure to ask how much a lawyer typically charges for their services. A birth injury lawyer must be charged on a contingent fee basis, just like most personal injury attorneys. This means they will only receive the money if they receive an award in the financial interest of the client.
