Birth Injury Legal Help

When the child is born with an illness or injury due to medical negligence families have to deal with enormous financial burdens. An attorney for birth injuries can assist in obtaining compensation that will cover expenses and improve the quality of life for a child.

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

Statute of Limitations

Whatever the manner in which the injury was sustained, it is crucial to seek legal advice immediately if you suspect medical negligence. This ensures that your claim is filed within the state's statute of limitations, and that you have enough time to develop a strong claim and get fair compensation.

A plaintiff generally has two and half (2-1/2 years) to bring a lawsuit for medical malpractice. The time period begins from when the negligence occurred. New York law extends this deadline to 10 years in cases brought on behalf of children, provided the child is not yet the age of 18.

To win a birth injuries lawsuit, you must show that the defendant breached their duty to you when causing your child's injuries. Causation is typically established by using expert testimony and evidence demonstrating best practices, which are widely accepted by the medical community.

Your attorney will look into your case and gather all relevant evidence including medical records for you and your child. They will also identify potential defendants and request the required documents from their insurance companies. After they have completed the process, they'll send a demand letter requesting damages in the amount of money to the parties at fault. If they are unwilling to negotiate the lawyer will bring a lawsuit to court. A lawsuit is usually settled by a trial in which both sides present their evidence and arguments before the jury and a judge.

Medical Experts

Birth injuries can have devastating consequences for the child and his family. It is imperative to seek legal assistance as soon as you can. An attorney can then create an evidence-based case using medical records and doctor depositions. Lawyers can also request a medical expert to provide an opinion and review the case. This is an essential part of any medical malpractice case.

Many birth injuries are difficult to prove, because the signs might not show up until much later. Parents may not realize they have injuries until their child has missed developmental milestones, or until their pediatrician has determined that their child has intellectual physical and intellectual deficiencies. A possible injury may be identified by symptoms such as an admission to the NICU or a need for an CT or MRI scan after birth.

Causation is a crucial element in the success of a birth injury lawsuit. You must establish that the defendant's breach in duty caused your child's injury. This means that if the doctor didn't commit the breach of duty then your child wouldn't have suffered an injury.

The majority of medical malpractice claims which include birth injuries, settle out of court. In a settlement agreement, the defendants must agree on a dollar value to settle the claim. The amount must reflect past and future damages. Your lawyer will consult medical and financial experts in order to determine the correct amount.

Defendants

A successful birth injury lawsuit needs proving that your medical professional violated his or her duty of care. This is usually accomplished by seeking the opinion of an expert witness in the field of medicine. The medical expert will review the evidence in your case, including any medical records and depositions taken by doctors involved. He or she will determine whether your doctor acted in conformity with the standards of care for doctors with similar qualifications and experience in the particular circumstances.

A lawyer can also employ financial experts to evaluate your losses and estimate reasonable damages that account for both present and future costs. Your lawyer will bargain with the hospital or physician's malpractice company and make a claim if needed to ensure maximum compensation for the injuries your child sustained.

Contrary to most lawsuits, birth injuries cases are generally settled. A settlement occurs when all parties agree to pay a minimum amount of money and all legal action stops. If you don't reach a resolution in your case, your case may go to court, where a judge and jury will decide on the outcome.

Birth injuries can have long-lasting effects on your child or your entire family. It is essential to be in close contact with an attorney for birth injuries who is familiar with handling such claims.

Settlement

Your lawyer should do everything possible to ensure that your family receives an amount that is fair. It will depend on the injuries your child has suffered and the demands that result. For instance, a serious birth injury can lead to years of medical care, which is often all-hours-of-the-day. Your lawyer will speak with medical and health experts to know the total cost of this treatment and to submit a claim for damages that is appropriate.

In many instances the malpractice insurance policy of a physician or hospital will offer to settle a case without litigation. In these instances the lawyer will then send a demand package containing an extensive description of the facts and a dollar amount you would like to offer to settle the case. The insurance company will examine the information provided and then respond with a counter-offer. Your lawyer will negotiate an equitable settlement with the insurance company.

If a settlement can't be reached, your attorney can file a medical malpractice lawsuit in the county in which the injury occurred. You may be able name your doctor, as well as any other doctors or hospital involved in the birth of your child, and also the injury, as defendants, based on the circumstances. Your lawyer will gather additional information following the filing of an action, such as depositions and sworn statements from witnesses, as part of a discovery process. The evidence you gather will help support your legal arguments.
