Birth Injury Lawyers
Parents who believe their child has suffered a birth injury due to medical negligence may be entitled to compensation. The process of filing a claim can be complicated and is subject to deadlines, such as the statute or limitations.
A lawyer for a family can assist them review medical records, seek professional opinions and develop an evidence-based case. They can also handle correspondence with insurance companies and negotiate a fair settlement.
Preventable Birth Injuries
Sadly, a lot of birth injuries that happen could have been prevented. Certain injuries, whether caused by medical negligence or a natural problem, won't heal on their own and could cause long-term complications. Some may also require expensive treatments that aren't covered by insurance. The first emotions that a parent experiences are usually anger and frustration. They may also feel sadness and shock. They may also be left wondering what happened and if this could have been prevented.
A birth injury can be caused by any incident that occurs before or after birth. Some birth injuries are obvious, like a skull injury or spinal cord damage. Others will be evident as the child ages. For instance the lack of motor development or cognitive problems could be signs of brain injury resulting from a preventable birth injury.
Some birth injuries can be prevented by ensuring the mother during pregnancy and through regular OB-GYN visits. Parents should assess their risk factors and select a doctor that is best for their needs. The doctor should also listen to the mother's views and consider them during labor. The doctor should also be aware the need for a C-section and be able in performing one in a safe manner.
Medical Malpractice
If a child suffers an injury in the birth process it could shatter the hopes of parents who have been looking forward to this day for years. Even a seemingly minor medical error could lead to costly treatment over the course of years and a lifetime lost potential for the child.
The most skilled birth injury lawyers will examine medical records and other evidence to determine if there was error during the birthing process. They will then consult with medical experts in order to show that the breach of duty on behalf of the health professional resulted in your child's injuries.
Many lawyers will offer an evaluation of your case for free and offer services on a contingent fee basis, meaning they don't get paid until they win your case. Additionally, the top national law firms have access medical databases as well as a team of staff members, including medical experts who can help you to strengthen your case.
The best time to hire a birth injury lawyer is as soon as possible. If you do not wait until your child becomes an adult to file a lawsuit you'll have less time to construct a strong claim, and the medical documents that support your claim may have expired long ago. Additionally, if you aren't quick enough, you could miss the time limit for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in your state.
Medical Bills
Medical expenses for a child with a brain or spinal cord injury can be overwhelming. A successful legal case could lower the cost of these injuries. A settlement or jury award could cover your child's medical bills as well as future ones, as well as lost earnings due to having be at home in order to care for an injured baby. It can also cover emotional stress.
When selecting an attorney it is essential to know how many cases they take on at a time and their success rate with these types of claims. It is also important to look at the length of their experience in the field of malpractice law as this can affect how they do in court, or when negotiating with insurance companies.
The question of which medical professionals will be working on your case and what they think about the possible causes for the injury to the child is an excellent idea. Medical experts can offer an important viewpoint and often play a significant role in successfully winning a medical malpractice case.
Lastly, parents should be sure to inquire about the amount a lawyer typically charges for their services. A birth injury lawyer must be charged on a contingent fee basis, like many personal injury lawyers. This means that they only get paid when they get an award for financial damages on behalf of the client.
