Birth Injury Legal Help

Families are confronted with massive financial burdens when a baby is born with an medically-caused injury or illness. A birth injury attorney can help secure compensation to cover the care costs and enhance a child's quality of life.

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

Statute of Limitations

Whatever the manner in which the injury was sustained, it's important to seek legal counsel when you suspect that medical negligence. This will ensure that your claim is filed within the state's statute of limitations, and that you have enough time to create a strong case and obtain fair compensation.

In general, a claimant has two and one-half (2-1/2) years to file a medical negligence lawsuit that begins from the date of the occurrence of negligence. New York law extends this deadline to 10 years in lawsuits brought on behalf of children, provided that the child has not reached their 18th birthday.

To win a birth injury lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the defendant violated their duty to you when causing your child's injuries. Causation is usually established by using expert testimony and documents that show best practices, which are widely accepted in the medical community.

Your attorney will conduct an investigation and collect all evidence relevant to your case, including medical records and test results from both you and your baby. They will then find potential defendants and request the required documents from their insurance companies. Once they have completed the procedure, they will send a demand letter requesting damages in the amount of money to the parties at fault. If they don't agree to a settlement your lawyer will start a lawsuit in court. A lawsuit is usually resolved by a trial where each side will present its arguments and evidence before an impartial jury and judge.

Medical Experts

If a child suffers a birth injury it can have devastating effects for the child and family. It is imperative to seek legal help as quickly as possible. This will allow the attorney to develop a convincing case by using evidence, such as medical records and depositions by doctors. A lawyer may also ask a medical expert for a opinion and look over the case. This is a vital part of any medical malpractice case.

Many birth injuries are difficult to prove, because the signs might not show up until much later. Parents often don't notice them until their child has missed developmental milestones or their pediatrician indicates that there are intellectual and physical deficiencies. Signs of injury, such as admission to the NICU or need for an CT scan or MRI after birth, can be a sign of an injury.

Causation is yet another crucial aspect in the success of a birth injury lawsuit. You must prove that the defendant's breach 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 claims, such as those involving birth injury or birth injury, are settled out of court. In a settlement agreement, the parties have to reach an agreement on a dollar amount in order to resolve the matter. The amount must reflect past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult with medical and financial experts to determine the right amount.

Defendants

A successful birth injury lawsuit needs establishing that your medical provider has violated their duty of care. This is usually accomplished by obtaining an expert medical witness's opinion. The medical expert will review the evidence in your case including medical records and depositions taken by doctors involved. He or she will determine whether your doctor acted according to the appropriate standard of professional practice for those who have similar qualifications, experience and context.

A lawyer will also engage financial experts to assess your losses and determine reasonable damages that take into account the present, past, and future expenses. Your attorney will engage with the hospital, or the doctor's malpractice insurer and will file a lawsuit if necessary to get the most compensation possible for your child's injuries.

Contrary to many lawsuits birth injuries cases are often settled. Settlement occurs when all parties agree to a specific amount and stop all legal actions. If your case is unable to resolve then it could be referred to trial, where a judge and jury will decide your fate.

A birth injury is a serious medical issue that can cause lasting harm on your child and family. For the best results it is important to consult with an experienced birth injury attorney who has proven track record of success in handling these claims.

Settlement

Your lawyer must do all possible to ensure that your family receives an amount that is fair. It will depend on your child's injuries and the subsequent needs. For instance, a serious birth injury could result in years of medical care, which is often throughout the day. Your lawyer will consult with medical and care experts to determine the amount of care required and submit a valid claim.

In many instances doctors or hospitals' malpractice insurance company will offer to settle the case without the need for litigation. In these situations your lawyer will mail a demand package containing a detailed description of the facts and a dollar amount you would like to offer to settle your case. The insurance company will scrutinize the details and respond with a counter-offer. Your lawyer will negotiate an equitable settlement with the insurance company.

If a settlement is not agreed upon, your attorney may bring a medical malpractice suit in the county where the incident occurred. It is possible to include your doctor, along with any other hospital or doctor involved in the birth of your child, and also the injury, as defendants based on circumstances. Your lawyer can gather additional information following the filing of a lawsuit, including depositions and sworn testimony from witnesses, via the discovery process. This information will support your legal arguments.
