Birth Injury Compensation

If your child suffers birth injury resulting from a doctor's negligence or wrongful act, it can be devastating. These injuries are often life-long treatment and care, leaving you with massive financial burdens.

Additionally, a lot of birth injuries cases require a complex argument over medical malpractice versus medical mistakes. Our lawyers can help you understand the differences.

Costs of Treatment

Attorneys, insurance companies, and judges consider the severity of the birth injury as well as the impact it can have on the child's life in determining the amount of compensation to be paid. For instance, if a child requires continuous medical treatment that will increase the value of a claim.

Medical treatment for birth injuries can be expensive. Compensation for birth injury can help families cover these expenses. Lawyers and experts frequently collaborate to create a "Life Care Plan" which calculates the cost of a child's injury over a lifetime. These expenses include hospitalization, surgeries, specialized medical treatments, prescriptions, home improvements and equipment, etc.

Your legal team will gather medical records from the time of your child's birth and pregnancy as well as firsthand stories from family members. These records will be used to prove that your child sustained an injury as a result of negligence on the part of a medical professional and to prove the extent of the harm caused.

Many states have established medical indemnity funds which provide financial aid to families of children who suffer birth injuries. These funds can either collect the portion of malpractice insurance premiums, or require hospitals and doctors to contribute to the resource pool. In addition to providing financial assistance, these programs may also help reduce the need for families to file a lawsuit. However, JLARC staff found that these programs may not always meet their aims and could be improved.

Life Care Planning

Children who suffer from conditions like cerebral palsy and hypoxic ischemic brain disease will have permanent medical requirements. This includes physical therapies, specialized equipment, and home health treatment. In many cases, these costs can be quite substantial.

A life-care plan document is a document which outlines the future medical, educational home, and other costs a child with disabilities will endure throughout their lifetime. These plans are often used to calculate the financial portion of damages in a birth injury case. These plans should be thorough and carefully designed to comply with the strict requirements for admissibility.

Experts in planning for life can assist in the preparation of these documents using input and formal opinions of a disabled child’s doctors or therapists as well as caregivers. The plans provide a detailed description of the initial injury and its diagnosis. They provide the reason for the disability and its long-term effects.

A medical malpractice lawyer must work with a life care planner to come up with the most appropriate plan for their client's situation. The aim of the plan is to ensure that your child receives sufficient compensation to cover all of their future expenses and medical care. The money awarded is typically placed into a special needs trust managed by an approved administrator. The amount of money given is typically adjusted regularly to reflect the changing requirements of your child.

Suffering and Pain

In a case that involves birth injuries and damages are awarded to compensate the plaintiff for past and future pain and discomfort. This includes physical and mental discomfort caused by the injury and also an inability to engage in activities that are enjoyed by other people.

It is also possible to get compensation for income loss if a victim's disability limits their career options or prevents the person from working at all. In addition, families may be compensated if they are required to assist in the care of the child who is injured.

Medical malpractice cases typically have extremely high verdicts, as juries are more likely to show compassion for victims and hold doctors accountable for birth their errors. This is why many hospitals and doctors prefer to settle instead of taking on a trial, which is costly and stressful for the parties involved.

During the course of the lawsuit lawyers on both sides will gather evidence to support their arguments. They will share documents during a process called discovery, which entails taking testimony from witnesses under oath. In many states, defendants can demand access to the plaintiff's records.

A successful birth injury lawsuit requires a lawyer who has experience in these kinds of cases. An experienced attorney will go over the facts of your case, determine if it satisfies the requirements for a lawsuit and seek out the most favorable financial settlement you can get.

Punitive Damages

Certain medical malpractice lawsuits also include punitive damage awards intended to serve as a warning and discourage future negligence. These damages can be awarded when there is a substantial amount of negligence or malice on the part the doctor. They are not common in cases of birth injuries.

Once the attorney has identified the appropriate defendants, they have to collect and analyze evidence to back up their assertions. They must demonstrate that the injuries caused by the medical professionals failed to meet a high standard of medical care. The legal team also has to be able to prove the loss that was caused with the injuries, which are referred to as "damages." These damages can be either economic or non-economic.

Economic losses are typically calculated by estimation of the cost of a child's ongoing care, which includes long-term care facilities as well as other services. These may also include the loss of earnings if an injury has caused both parents to lose their job.

The legal team will create a demand document that they can present to the malpractice carriers. The document will outline the birth injury and its impact on the child and their family in order to seek compensation to cover the costs of these loss. The lawyers will negotiate with the medical professionals until they reach a settlement. During the discovery process, lawyers will exchange information with the other party regarding their case. This may include taking depositions of witnesses who swear to testify under oath.
