Birth Injury Legal Help

Families are faced with enormous financial burdens when a child is born with a medically-caused injury or illness. A birth injury attorney can assist in obtaining compensation that will cover costs and enhance the quality of life for a child.

Families must prove four elements to prevail in a lawsuit against birth injuries:

Statute of Limitations

It is essential to talk with an attorney immediately if you suspect medical negligence. This will ensure that your claim is filed in time for the statutes of limitations and that you have sufficient time to create a strong case and receive the right amount of compensation.

In general, a party has two and half (2-1/2) years to file a medical negligence lawsuit starting from the date of the incident of negligence. New York law extends this deadline to 10 years for cases brought on behalf of children, provided the child is not yet their 18th birthday.

To win a birth injury lawsuit, you must prove that the defendant violated their duty to you when the child's injuries. Causation is usually established through expert testimony and documents demonstrating best practices, which are widely accepted by the medical professionals.

Your lawyer will look into your case and gather all relevant evidence, including medical records for you and your child. Then, they'll identify potential defendants and request required documents from the insurance companies. Once they have all the documents, they will send a demand letter to the parties at fault for financial damages. If they refuse to negotiate the lawyer will bring a lawsuit to court. A lawsuit is usually settled through a trial, with each side presenting their evidence and arguments to a judge and jury.

Medical Experts

If a child suffers a birth injury, it can have devastating consequences for the family and child. It is essential to seek legal help as soon as possible. This will enable the lawyer to present a convincing case, using evidence like medical documents and depositions of doctors. A lawyer can also get a medical expert to review the case and provide an opinion. This is a crucial step in any medical malpractice lawsuit.

Many birth injuries are difficult to prove as the symptoms may not appear until much later. Parents may not realize they have injuries until their child has failed to meet developmental milestones or their pediatrician has stated that there are cognitive and physical deficiencies. Signs of an injury, such as admission to the NICU, or the need for an CT scan or MRI after birth, may be a sign of an injury.

Causation is an additional element in a successful birth injury lawsuit. You must show that the defendant's breach of 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 including those involving birth injury or birth injury, are settled out of court. In a settlement, defendants must agree on an amount of money to settle the claim. The amount must reflect both past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult financial and medical experts to determine the appropriate amount.

Defendants

A successful birth injury lawsuit will require the proof that your doctor did not fulfill their duty of care. This is typically done by obtaining a medical expert witness' opinion. The medical expert will look over the evidence in your case, including depositions from the doctors involved in your case, as well as medical records. They will determine whether your doctor acted in accordance with the proper standard of care for professionals with similar training and expertise in the context.

A lawyer can also employ financial experts to analyze your losses and calculate reasonable damages to account for both present and future expenses. Your lawyer will engage with the hospital's the malpractice insurance company of the physician and file a lawsuit should it be necessary, to ensure maximum compensation for injuries suffered by your child.

In contrast to the majority of lawsuits, birth injury cases are usually resolved in settlements. A settlement occurs when all parties agree on a certain amount and stop all legal action. If you don't reach a resolution in your case, the case may go to court, where a judge and jury will decide the outcome.

A birth injury is a serious medical problem which can have lasting consequences on your child and family. To ensure the best outcome it is important to work with an experienced birth injury lawyer who has experience of successfully settling such claims.

Settlement

Your lawyer should do everything possible to ensure that your family receives an appropriate settlement. This will depend on the severity of your child's injuries and the subsequent needs. For instance, a major birth injury could require many years of treatment, often throughout the day. Your lawyer will consult with medical and care experts to understand the total costs of the care and submit a claim for damages that is appropriate.

In many cases the malpractice insurance of a physician or hospital will offer the possibility of settling a case without litigation. In these instances the lawyer will then send the demand package, which includes an exhaustive description of the facts and a dollar amount that you propose to settle your case. The insurance company will review your documents and respond by counter-offering. Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company to come up with an appropriate settlement.

If a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney can bring a medical malpractice suit in the county in which the incident occurred. Depending on the circumstances, you may claim as defendants your doctor and any other doctors or hospitals involved in the birth of your child and the injury. When the lawsuit is filed, your attorney can obtain more information through an investigation process known as discovery that includes depositions, as well as witness testimony sworn by witnesses. These evidences will support your legal arguments.
